Chap. I.
Nehemias hearing the miserable state of his countrie men in Iurie, 4. lamenteth,
fasteth, and prayeth God for their relief. note
1 The wordes of note Nehemias the sonne of Helchias. And
it came to passe in the moneth of Casleu, the twenteth
yeare, and I was in Susis the castel.
2 And Hanani one of my
brethren came, him selfe and men of Iuda, and I asked them
of the Iewes, that remayned, and were left aliue of the captiuitie,
and of Ierusalem.
3 And they sayd to me: They that
remayned, and are left of the captiuitie there in the prouince,
are in great affliction, and in reproche: and the wal of
Ierusalem is broken downe, and the gates therof are burnt
with fire.
4 And when I had heard these maner of wordes, I
sate, and wept, and mourned many dayes: and fasted, and
prayed before the face of the God of heauen.
5 And I sayd:
I besech thee Lord God of heauen, strong, great, and terrible,
which keepest couenant & mercie with them that loue thee,
and keepe thy c&obar;mandmentes:
6 let thine eares be harkning,
and thine eyes open, to heare the prayer of thy seruant,
which I pray before thee this day, night & day for the children
of Israel thy seruantes: and I confesse for the sinnes of
the children of Israel, in which they haue sinned to thee: I &
my fathers house haue sinned,
7 we haue bene seduced with
vanitie, and haue not kept thy commandments, and cerimonies
and iudgement, which thou hast commanded to Moyses
thy seruant.
8 Remember the word, that thou didst command
vnto Moyses thy seruant, saying: When you shal transgresse,
I will depresse you into peoples:
9 and if you returne
to me, and keepe my precepts, and doe them, although you
shal be led away to the vttermost partes of heauen, thence
wil I gather you, and bring you backe into the place, which
I haue chosen that my name should dwel there.
10 And they
are thy seruantes, and thy people: whom thou hast redemed
in thy great strength, and in thy mighty hand.
11 I besech thee
Lord, let thine eare be attent to the prayer of thy seruant, and

to the prayer of thy seruants, which will feare thy name:
and direct thy seruant this day, and giue him mercy before
this man. for I was the kings cupbearer
