Chapter 1

1 The words of Nehemiah the son of Hachaliah. AND it came to pass in the month Chisleu, in the twentieth year, as I was in Shushan the palace,
2 That Hanani, one of my brethren, came, he AND certain men of Judah; AND I asked them concerning the Jews that had escaped, which were left of the captivity, AND concerning Jerusalem.
3 AND they said unto me, The remnant that are left of the captivity there in the province are in great affliction AND reproach: the wall of Jerusalem also is broken down, AND the gates thereof are burned with fire.
4 AND it came to pass, when I heard these words, that I sat down AND wept, AND mourned certain days, AND fasted, AND prayed before the God of heaven,
5 AND said, I beseech thee, O LORD God of heaven, the great AND terrible God, that keepeth covenant AND mercy for them that love him AND observe his commandments:
6 Let thine ear now be attentive, AND thine eyes open, that thou mayest hear the prayer of thy servant, which I pray before thee now, day AND night, for the children of Israel thy servants, AND confess the sins of the children of Israel, which we have sinned against thee: both I AND my father's house have sinned.
7 We have dealt very corruptly against thee, AND have not kept the commandments, nor the statutes, nor the judgments, which thou commandedst thy servant Moses.
8 Remember, I beseech thee, the word that thou commandedst thy servant Moses, saying, If ye transgress, I will scatter you abroad among the nations:
9 But if ye turn unto me, AND keep my commandments, AND do them; though there were of you cast out unto the uttermost part of the heaven, yet will I gather them from thence, AND will bring them unto the place that I have chosen to set my name there.
10 Now these are thy servants AND thy people, whom thou hast redeemed by thy great power, AND by thy strong hand.
11 O LORD, I beseech thee, let now thine ear be attentive to the prayer of thy servant, AND to the prayer of thy servants, who desire to fear thy name: AND prosper, I pray thee, thy servant this day, AND grant him mercy in the sight of this man. For I was the king's cupbearer.
