Nehemiah 13:14
remember ....... God .................. God <02142 0430> [Remember me.]
wipe out <04229> [wipe not.]
If thou wert strict to mark what is done amiss, even my good deeds must be wiped out: but, Lord, remember me in thy mercy, and let my upright conduct be acceptable to Thee! By some, Nehemiah has been thought to deal too much with God on the principle of merit. That he wished God to remember him for good is sufficiently evident, and who does not wish the same? But that he expected heaven for his good deeds does not appear; for it is perfectly clear that he expected nothing from God but through the greatness of his mercy.
kindness ..... done <02617 06213> [good deeds. Heb. kindnesses. house.]
services <04929> [offices. or, observations.]
