The words of Nehemiah the son of Hacaliah. Neh 10:1Zec 7:1Est 1:2Dan 8:2Ezr 7:7Est 3:15Ezr 10:9Neh 2:1
Now in the month Chislev, in the twentieth year, as I was in Susa the palace, Hanani, one of my brothers, came, he and certain men out of Judah; and I asked them about the Jews who had escaped, who were left of the captivity, and concerning Jerusalem. Neh 7:2Ezk 6:9Ezk 24:26-27Ezk 7:16Ezr 9:14Ezr 9:8-9Jer 44:14Psa 122:6-9 They said to me, “The remnant who are left of the captivity there in the province are in great affliction and reproach. The wall of Jerusalem is also broken down, and its gates are burned with fire.” Neh 2:172Ki 25:10Ezr 5:8Neh 2:13Neh 2:3Neh 7:6Neh 9:36-371Ki 9:7
When I heard these words, I sat down and wept, and mourned several days; and I fasted and prayed before the God 1 of heaven, Dan 9:3Psa 137:1Ezr 10:1Neh 2:4Psa 102:13-14Psa 69:9-10Zep 3:18Dan 2:18 and said, “I beg you, LORD, 2 the God of heaven, the great and awesome God who keeps covenant and loving kindness with those who love him and keep his commandments, Exo 20:6Dan 9:4-19Deu 7:21Deu 7:9Neh 4:141Ki 8:23Heb 6:13-18Neh 9:32 let your ear now be attentive and your eyes open, that you may listen to the prayer of your servant which I pray before you at this time, day and night, for the children of Israel your servants, while I confess the sins of the children of Israel which we have sinned against you. Yes, I and my father’s house have sinned. Dan 9:20Dan 9:4Psa 34:15Psa 106:6Dan 9:17-182Ch 29:62Ch 6:40Isa 6:5 We have dealt very corruptly against you, and have not kept the commandments, nor the statutes, nor the ordinances, which you commanded your servant Moses. Dan 9:5-6Dan 9:11Dan 9:13Psa 106:61Ki 2:32Ch 25:42Ch 27:2Deu 28:14-15
“Remember, I beg you, the word that you commanded your servant Moses, saying, ‘If you trespass, I will scatter you among the peoples; Deu 28:64Deu 4:25-27Lev 26:33-461Ki 9:6-7Deu 32:26-28Luk 1:72Psa 119:49 but if you return to me, and keep my commandments and do them, though your outcasts were in the uttermost part of the heavens, yet I will gather them from there, and will bring them to the place that I have chosen, to cause my name to dwell there.’ Jer 29:11-14Deu 30:2-5Deu 4:29-31Jer 32:37Lev 26:39-42Deu 12:5Ezr 6:12Isa 56:8
“Now these are your servants and your people, whom you have redeemed by your great power and by your strong hand. Deu 9:29Dan 9:15-27Exo 32:11Deu 15:15Exo 13:9Exo 15:13Exo 6:1Isa 63:16-19 Lord, 3 I beg you, let your ear be attentive now to the prayer of your servant, and to the prayer of your servants who delight to fear your name; and please prosper your servant today, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man.” Neh 1:6Neh 2:8Neh 2:1Pro 21:1Heb 13:18Ezr 7:6Psa 130:2Psa 86:6
