Nehemiah 1:5--2:4

1:5

And said
<0559> (8799)_,

I beseech
<0577>

thee, O LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of heaven
<08064>_,

the great
<01419>

and terrible
<03372> (8737)

God
<0410>_,

that keepeth
<08104> (8802)

covenant
<01285>

and mercy
<02617>

for them that love
<0157> (8802)

him and observe
<08104> (8802)

his commandments
<04687>_:

1:6

Let thine ear
<0241>

now be attentive
<07183>_,

and thine eyes
<05869>

open
<06605> (8803)_,

that thou mayest hear
<08085> (8800)

the prayer
<08605>

of thy servant
<05650>_,

which I pray
<06419> (8693)

before
<06440>

thee now
<03117>_,

day
<03119>

and night
<03915>_,

for the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>

thy servants
<05650>_,

and confess
<03034> (8693)

the sins
<02403>

of the children
<01121>

of Israel
<03478>_,

which we have sinned
<02398> (8804)

against thee: both I and my father's
<01>

house
<01004>

have sinned
<02398> (8804)_.

1:7

We have dealt very
<02254> (8800)

corruptly
<02254> (8804)

against thee, and have not kept
<08104> (8804)

the commandments
<04687>_,

nor the statutes
<02706>_,

nor the judgments
<04941>_,

which thou commandedst
<06680> (8765)

thy servant
<05650>

Moses
<04872>_.

1:8

Remember
<02142> (8798)_,

I beseech thee, the word
<01697>

that thou commandedst
<06680> (8765)

thy servant
<05650>

Moses
<04872>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

[If] ye transgress
<04603> (8799)_,

I will scatter you abroad
<06327> (8686)

among the nations
<05971>_:

1:9

But [if] ye turn
<07725> (8804)

unto me, and keep
<08104> (8804)

my commandments
<04687>_,

and do
<06213> (8804)

them; though there were of you cast out
<05080> (8737)

unto the uttermost part
<07097>

of the heaven
<08064>_,

[yet] will I gather
<06908> (8762)

them from thence, and will bring
<0935> (8689)

them unto the place
<04725>

that I have chosen
<0977> (8804)

to set
<07931> (8763)

my name
<08034>

there.

1:10

Now these [are] thy servants
<05650>

and thy people
<05971>_,

whom thou hast redeemed
<06299> (8804)

by thy great
<01419>

power
<03581>_,

and by thy strong
<02389>

hand
<03027>_.

1:11

O Lord
<0136>_,

I beseech
<0577>

thee, let now thine ear
<0241>

be attentive
<07183>

to the prayer
<08605>

of thy servant
<05650>_,

and to the prayer
<08605>

of thy servants
<05650>_,

who desire
<02655>

to fear
<03372> (8800)

thy name
<08034>_:

and prosper
<06743> (8685)_,

I pray thee, thy servant
<05650>

this day
<03117>_,

and grant
<05414> (8798)

him mercy
<07356>

in the sight
<06440>

of this man
<0376>_.

For I was the king's
<04428>

cupbearer
<08248> (8688)_.

2:1

And it came to pass in the month
<02320>

Nisan
<05212>_,

in the twentieth
<06242>

year
<08141>

of Artaxerxes
<0783>

the king
<04428>_,

[that] wine
<03196>

[was] before
<06440>

him: and I took up
<05375> (8799)

the wine
<03196>_,

and gave
<05414> (8799)

[it] unto the king
<04428>_.

Now I had not been [beforetime] sad
<07451>

in his presence
<06440>_.

2:2

Wherefore the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto me, Why [is] thy countenance
<06440>

sad
<07451>_,

seeing thou [art] not sick
<02470> (8802)_?

this [is] nothing [else] but sorrow
<07455>

of heart
<03820>_.

Then I was very
<03966>

sore
<07235> (8687)

afraid
<03372> (8799)_,

2:3

And said
<0559> (8799)

unto the king
<04428>_,

Let the king
<04428>

live
<02421> (8799)

for ever
<05769>_:

why should not my countenance
<06440>

be sad
<03415> (8799)_,

when the city
<05892>_,

the place
<01004>

of my fathers
<01>_'

sepulchres
<06913>_,

[lieth] waste
<02720>_,

and the gates
<08179>

thereof are consumed
<0398> (8795)

with fire
<0784>_?

2:4

Then the king
<04428>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto me, For what dost thou make request
<01245> (8764)_?

So I prayed
<06419> (8691)

to the God
<0430>

of heaven
<08064>_.
