New King James Version
2 that (A)Hanani one of my brethren came with men from Judah; and I asked them concerning the Jews who had escaped, who had survived the captivity, and concerning Jerusalem. 3 And they said to me, “The survivors who are left from the captivity in the (B)province are there in great distress and (C)reproach. (D)The wall of Jerusalem (E)is also broken down, and its gates are burned with fire.”
4 So it was, when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept, and mourned for many days; I was fasting and praying before the God of heaven.
5 And I said: “I pray, (F)Lord God of heaven, O great and (G)awesome God, (H)You who keep Your covenant and mercy with those who love [a]You and observe [b]Your commandments, 6 please let Your ear be attentive and (I)Your eyes open, that You may hear the prayer of Your servant which I pray before You now, day and night, for the children of Israel Your servants, and (J)confess the sins of the children of Israel which we have sinned against You. Both my father’s house and I have sinned. 7 (K)We have acted very corruptly against You, and have (L)not kept the commandments, the statutes, nor the ordinances which You commanded Your servant Moses.
