Holy Name King James Version (KJV)

1 Nehemiah, understanding by Hanani the misery of Jerusalem, mourneth, fasteth, and prayeth. 5 His prayer.

1:1 ¶ The words 1697 of Nehemiah 5166 the son 1121 of Hachaliah. 2446 And it came to pass x1961 in the month 2320 Chisleu, 3691 in the twentieth 6242 year, 8141 as I x589 was x1961 in Shushan 7800 the palace, 1002

1:2 That Hanani, 2607 one 259 of my brethren, 251 x4480 came, 935 z8799 he x1931 and [certain] men y582 x376 of Judah; 3063 x4480 and I asked 7592 z8799 them concerning x5921 the Jews 3064 that had escaped, 6413 which x834 were left 7604 z8738 of x4480 the captivity, 7628 and concerning x5921 Jerusalem. 3389

1:3 And they said 559 z8799 unto me, The remnant 7604 z8737 that x834 are left 7604 z8738 of x4480 the captivity 7628 there x8033 in the province 4082 [are] in great 1419 affliction 7451 and reproach: 2781 the wall 2346 of Jerusalem 3389 also [is] broken down, 6555 z8794 and the gates 8179 thereof are burned 3341 z8738 with fire. 784

1:4 ¶ And it came to pass, x1961 when I heard 8085 z8800 x853 these x428 words, 1697 that I sat down 3427 z8804 and wept, 1058 z8799 and mourned 56 z8691 [certain] days, 3117 and fasted, 6684 z8802 x1961 and prayed 6419 z8693 before 6440 the Elohim 430 of heaven, 8064

1:5 And said, 559 z8799 I beseech 577 thee, O Yahweh 3068 Elohim 430 of heaven, 8064 the great 1419 and terrible 3372 z8737 El, 410 that keepeth 8104 z8802 covenant 1285 and mercy 2617 for them that love 157 z8802 him and observe 8104 z8802 his commandments: 4687

1:6 Let thine ear 241 now x4994 be x1961 attentive, 7183 and thine eyes 5869 open, 6605 z8803 that thou mayest hear 8085 z8800 x413 the prayer 8605 of thy servant, 5650 which x834 I x595 pray 6419 z8693 before 6440 thee now, 3117 day 3119 and night, 3915 for x5921 the children 1121 of Israel 3478 thy servants, 5650 and confess 3034 z8693 x5921 the sins 2403 of the children 1121 of Israel, 3478 which x834 we have sinned 2398 z8804 against thee: both I x589 and my father's 1 house 1004 have sinned. 2398 z8804

1:7 We have dealt very y2254 z8800 corruptly 2254 z8804 against thee, and have not x3808 kept 8104 z8804 x853 the commandments, 4687 nor the statutes, 2706 nor the judgments, 4941 which x834 thou commandedst 6680 z8765 x853 thy servant 5650 Moses. 4872

1:8 Remember, 2142 z8798 I beseech x4994 thee, x853 the word 1697 that x834 thou commandedst 6680 z8765 x853 thy servant 5650 Moses, 4872 saying, 559 z8800 [If] ye x859 transgress, 4603 z8799 I x589 will scatter you abroad 6327 z8686 x853 among the nations: 5971

1:9 But [if] ye turn 7725 z8804 unto x413 me, and keep 8104 z8804 my commandments, 4687 and do 6213 z8804 them; though x518 there were x1961 of you cast out 5080 z8737 unto the uttermost part 7097 of the heaven, 8064 [yet] will I gather 6908 z8762 them from thence, x4480 x8033 and will bring 935 z8689 them unto x413 the place 4725 that x834 I have chosen 977 z8804 to set 7931 z8763 x853 my name 8034 there. x8033

1:10 Now these x1992 [are] thy servants 5650 and thy people, 5971 whom x834 thou hast redeemed 6299 z8804 by thy great 1419 power, 3581 and by thy strong 2389 hand. 3027

1:11 O Yahweh, 136 I beseech 577 thee, let now x4994 thine ear 241 be x1961 attentive 7183 to x413 the prayer 8605 of thy servant, 5650 and to x413 the prayer 8605 of thy servants, 5650 who desire 2655 to fear 3372 z8800 x853 thy name: 8034 and prosper, 6743 z8685 I pray x4994 thee, thy servant 5650 this day, 3117 and grant 5414 z8798 him mercy 7356 in the sight 6440 of this x2088 man. 376 For I x589 was x1961 the king's 4428 cupbearer. y8248 z8688 x4945
