Nehemiah Chapter 1 - King James Strong Number Version

1: The words <H1697> of Nehemiah <H5166> the son <H1121> of Hachaliah. <H2446> And it came to pass in the month <H2320> Chisleu, <H3691> in the twentieth <H6242> year, <H8141> as I was in Shushan <H7800> the palace, <H1002>
2: That Hanani, <H2607> one <H0259> of my brethren, <H0251> came, <H0935> he and [certain] men <H0582> of Judah; <H3063> and I asked <H7592> them concerning the Jews <H3064> that had escaped, <H6413> which were left <H7604> of the captivity, <H7628> and concerning Jerusalem. <H3389>
3: And they said <H0559> unto me, The remnant <H7604> that are left <H7604> of the captivity <H7628> there 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. <H0784>
4: And it came to pass, when I heard <H8085> these words, <H1697> that I sat down <H3427> and wept, <H1058> and mourned <H0056> [certain] days, <H3117> and fasted, <H6684> and prayed <H6419> before <H6440> the God <H0430> of heaven, <H8064>
5: And said, <H0559> I beseech <H0577> thee, O LORD <H3068> God <H0430> of heaven, <H8064> the great <H1419> and terrible <H3372> God, <H0410> that keepeth <H8104> covenant <H1285> and mercy <H2617> for them that love <H0157> him and observe <H8104> his commandments: <H4687>
6: Let thine ear <H0241> now be attentive, <H7183> and thine eyes <H5869> open, <H6605> that thou mayest hear <H8085> the prayer <H8605> of thy servant, <H5650> which I pray <H6419> before <H6440> thee now, <H3117> day <H3119> and night, <H3915> for the children <H1121> of Israel <H3478> thy servants, <H5650> and confess <H3034> the sins <H2403> of the children <H1121> of Israel, <H3478> which we have sinned <H2398> against thee: both I and my father's <H0001> house <H1004> have sinned. <H2398>
7: We have dealt very <H2254> corruptly <H2254> against thee, and have not kept <H8104> the commandments, <H4687> nor the statutes, <H2706> nor the judgments, <H4941> which thou commandedst <H6680> thy servant <H5650> Moses. <H4872>
8: Remember, <H2142> I beseech thee, the word <H1697> that thou commandedst <H6680> thy servant <H5650> Moses, <H4872> saying, <H0559> [If] ye transgress, <H4603> I will scatter <H6327> you abroad among the nations: <H5971>
9: But [if] ye turn <H7725> unto me, and keep <H8104> my commandments, <H4687> and do <H6213> them; though there were of you cast out <H5080> unto the uttermost part <H7097> of the heaven, <H8064> [yet] will I gather <H6908> them from thence, and will bring <H0935> them unto the place <H4725> that I have chosen <H0977> to set <H7931> my name <H8034> there.
10: Now these [are] thy servants <H5650> and thy people, <H5971> whom thou hast redeemed <H6299> by thy great <H1419> power, <H3581> and by thy strong <H2389> hand. <H3027>
11: O Lord, <H0136> I beseech <H0577> thee, let now thine ear <H0241> be attentive <H7183> to the prayer <H8605> of thy servant, <H5650> and to the prayer <H8605> of thy servants, <H5650> who desire <H2655> to fear <H3372> thy name: <H8034> and prosper, <H6743> I pray thee, thy servant <H5650> this day, <H3117> and grant <H5414> him mercy <H7356> in the sight <H6440> of this man. <H0376> For I was the king's <H4428> cupbearer. <H8248>
