Nehemiah 1:6-9

English Standard Version

^6 (A)let your ear be attentive and your eyes open, to hear the prayer of your servant that I now pray before you day and night for the people of Israel your servants, ^(B)confessing the sins of the people of Israel, which we have sinned against you. Even ^(C)I and my father's house have sinned. ^7 (D)We have acted very corruptly against you and have not kept the commandments, the statutes, and the rules ^(E)that you commanded your servant Moses. ⁸ Remember the word that you commanded your servant Moses, saying, ‘If you are unfaithful, ^(F)I will scatter you among the peoples, ^9 (G)but if you return to me and keep my commandments and do them, ^(H)though your outcasts are in the uttermost parts of heaven, from there I will gather them and bring them ^(I)to the place that I have chosen, to make my name dwell there.’
