CHAP. I.
1 Nehemiah, vnderstanding by Hanani, the
misery of Ierusalem, mourneth, fasteth and
prayeth. 5 His prayer.
1
The words of Nehemiah
the sonne
of Hachaliah. And
it came to passe in
the moneth Chisleu,
in the twentieth
yeere, as I
was in Shushan
the palace;
2
That Hanani, one of my brethren
came, he and certaine men of Iudah, and
I asked them concerning the Iewes
that had escaped, which were left of the
captiuitie, and concerning Ierusalem.
3
And they said vnto me, The remnant
that are left of the captiuitie there
in the prouince, are in great affliction
and reproch: the wall of Ierusalem also note
is broken downe, and the gates
thereof are burnt with fire.
4
¶ And it came to passe when I
heard these words, that I sate downe
and wept, and mourned certaine dayes,
and fasted, and prayed before the God
of heauen,
5
And said, I beseech thee, note O
Lord God of heauen, the great and
-- --
Nehemiahs prayer:
terrible God, that keepeth couenant
and mercie for them that loue him, and
obserue his commandements:
6
Let thine eare now be attentiue,
and thine eyes open, that thou mayest
heare the prayer of thy seruant, which
I pray before thee now, day and night,
for the children of Israel thy seruants,
and confesse the sinnes of the children of
Israel, which wee haue sinned against
thee: both I, and my fathers house
haue sinned.
7
We haue dealt very corruptly against
thee, and haue not kept the commandements,
nor the statutes, nor the
iudgements, which thou commandedst
thy seruant Moses.
8
Remember, I beseech thee, the
word that thou commandedst thy seruant
Moses, saying, note If yee transgresse,
I will scatter you abroad among the
nations:
9
But if ye turne vnto me, and keepe
my commandements, and doe them:
note though there were of you cast out vnto
the vttermost part of the heauen, yet
will I gather them from thence, and
will bring them vnto the place that I
haue chosen, to set my Name there.
10
Now these are thy seruants, 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 eare be attentiue to the prayer
of thy seruant, and to the prayer of
thy seruants, who desire to feare thy
name: and prosper, I pray thee, thy
seruant this day, and grant him mercie
in the sight of this man. For I was the
kings cup-bearer.
