CHAP. I.
Nehemias hearing the miserable state of his countrymen in
Judea, lamenteth, fasteth, and prayeth to God for their
relief.
1 The words of Nehemias
the son of
Helchias. And it
came to pass in the month of
Casleu, in the twentieth year,
as I was in the castle of Susa.
2 That Hanani one of my
brethren came, he and some
men of Juda; and I asked them
concerning the Jews, that remained
and were left of the
captivity, and concerning Jerusalem.
3 And they said to me:
They that have remained, and
are left of the captivity there
in the province, are in great
affliction, and reproach: and
the wall of Jerusalem is broken
down, and the gates thereof
are burnt with fire.
4 And when I had heard these
words, I sat down, and wept,
and mourned for many days:
and I fasted, and prayed before
the face of the God of
heaven.
5 And I said: I beseech
thee O Lord God of heaven,
strong, great, and terrible,
who keepest covenant and
mercy with them that love
thee, and keep thy commandments:
6 Let thy ears be attentive,
and thy eyes open, to hear
the prayer of thy servant,
which I pray before thee now,
night and day for the children
of Israel thy servants: and I
confess the sins of the children
of Israel, by which they have
sinned against thee: I and my
father's house have sinned,
-- --
7 We have been seduced
by vanity, and have not kept
thy commandments, and ceremonies
and judgments, which
thou hast commanded thy servant
Moses.
8 Remember the word that
thou commandedst to Moses
thy servant, saying: If you
shall transgress, I will scatter
you abroad among the nations:
9 But if you return to me,
and keep my commandments,
and do them, though you
should be led away to the uttermost
parts of the world, I
will gather you from thence,
and bring you back to the
place, which I have chosen
for my name to dwell there.
10 And these are thy servants,
and thy people: whom
thou hast redeemed by thy great
strength, and by thy mighty
hand.
11 I beseech thee O Lord,
let thy ear be attentive to the
prayer of thy servant, and to
the prayer of thy servants,
who desire to fear thy name:
and direct thy servant this day,
and give him mercy before this
man. For I was the king's
cup-bearer.
