The words H1697 CMP of Nehemiah H5166 the son H1121 of Hachaliah H2446 . And it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS in the month H2320 Chisleu H3691 , in the twentieth H6242 year H8141 , as I H589 W-PPRO-1MS was H1961 VQQ1MS in Shushan H7800 the palace H1002 ,
That Hanani H2607 , one H259 MMS of my brethren H251 , came H935 W-VQY3MS , he H1931 PPRO-3MS and [ certain ] men H376 of Judah H3063 ; and I asked H7592 them concerning H5921 PREP the Jews H3064 that had escaped H6413 , which H834 RPRO were left H7604 of H4480 PREP the captivity H7628 , and concerning H5921 PREP Jerusalem H3389 .
And they said H559 W-VQY3MP unto me , The remnant H7604 that H834 RPRO are left H7604 of H4480 PREP the captivity H7628 there H8033 ADV in the province H4082 [ are ] in great H1419 affliction H7451 and reproach H2781 : the wall H2346 of Jerusalem H3389 also [ is ] broken down H6555 , and the gates H8179 thereof are burned H3341 with fire H784 .
And it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS , when I heard H8085 these H428 D-DPRO-3MP words H1697 AMP , that I sat down H3427 and wept H1058 , and mourned H56 [ certain ] days H3117 NMP , and fasted H1961 , and prayed H6419 before H6440 L-CMP the God H430 CDP of heaven H8064 D-AMD ,
And said H559 W-VQY1MS , I beseech H577 thee , O LORD H3068 EDS God H430 CDP of heaven H8064 D-NMD , the great H1419 D-AMS and terrible H3372 God H410 , that keepeth H8104 covenant H1285 D-NFS and mercy H2617 W-NMS for them that love H157 him and observe H8104 his commandments H4687 :
Let thine ear H241 now H4994 IJEC be H1961 VQI3FS attentive H7183 , and thine eyes H5869 open H6605 , that thou mayest hear H8085 the prayer H8605 of thy servant H5650 , which H834 RPRO I H595 PPRO-1MS pray H6419 before H6440 L-CMP-2MS thee now H3117 D-AMS , day H3119 ADV and night H3915 W-NMS , for H5921 PREP the children H1121 of Israel H3478 thy servants H5650 , and confess H3034 the sins H2403 of the children H1121 of Israel H3478 , which H834 RPRO we have sinned H2398 against thee : both I H589 W-PPRO-1MS and my father H1 CMS-1MS \'s house H1004 W-NMS have sinned H2398 .
We have dealt very corruptly H2254 against thee , and have not H3808 W-NPAR kept H8104 the commandments H4687 , nor the statutes H2706 , nor the judgments H4941 , which H834 RPRO thou commandedst H6680 VPQ2MS thy servant H5650 Moses H4872 .
Remember H2142 VQI2MS , I beseech H4994 IJEC thee , the word H1697 D-NMS that H834 RPRO thou commandedst H6680 VPQ2MS thy servant H5650 Moses H4872 , saying H559 L-VQFC , [ If ] ye H859 PPRO-2MS transgress H4603 , I H589 PPRO-1MS will scatter you abroad H6327 among the nations H5971 :
But [ if ] ye turn H7725 unto H413 PREP me , and keep H8104 my commandments H4687 , and do H6213 them ; though H518 PART there were H1961 VQY3MS of you cast out H5080 unto the uttermost part H7097 of the heaven H8064 D-NMD , [ yet ] will I gather H6908 them from thence H8033 M-ADV , and will bring H935 them unto H413 PREP the place H4725 D-NMS that H834 RPRO I have chosen H977 to set H7931 my name H8034 there H8033 ADV .
Now these H1992 W-PPRO-3MP [ are ] thy servants H5650 and thy people H5971 , whom H834 RPRO thou hast redeemed H6299 by thy great H1419 D-AMS power H3581 , and by thy strong H2389 hand H3027 .
O Lord H136 EDS , I beseech H577 thee , let now H4994 IJEC thine ear H241 be H1961 VQI3FS attentive H7183 to H413 PREP the prayer H8605 of thy servant H5650 , and to H413 PREP the prayer H8605 of thy servants H5650 , who desire H2655 to fear H3372 thy name H8034 CMS-2MS : and prosper H6743 , I pray H4994 IJEC thee , thy servant H5650 this day H3117 D-AMS , and grant H5414 him mercy H7356 in the sight H6440 L-CMP of this H2088 D-PMS man H376 D-NMS . For I H589 W-PPRO-1MS was H1961 VQQ1MS the king H4428 \'s cupbearer H4945 NMS .
