Nehemiah 1:5-10
Christian Standard Bible
5 I said,(A)
Lord, the God of the heavens, the great and awe-inspiring God who keeps his gracious covenant with those who love him(B) and keep his commands,(C) 6 let your eyes be open and your ears be attentive(D) to hear your servant’s prayer that I now pray to you day and night(E) for your servants, the Israelites. I confess the sins[a] we have committed against you. Both I and my father’s family have sinned.(F) 7 We have acted corruptly toward you and have not kept the commands, statutes, and ordinances you gave your servant Moses.(G) 8 Please remember what you commanded your servant Moses: “If you are unfaithful, I will scatter you among the peoples.(H) 9 But if you return to me and carefully observe my commands, even though your exiles were banished to the farthest horizon,[b] I will gather them from there and bring them to the place where I chose to have my name dwell.”(I) 10 They are your servants and your people. You redeemed them by your great power and strong hand.(J)

Nehemiah 1:5-10
New International Version
5 Then I said:
“Lord, the God of heaven, the great and awesome God,(A) who keeps his covenant of love(B) with those who love him and keep his commandments, 6 let your ear be attentive and your eyes open to hear(C) the prayer(D) your servant is praying before you day and night for your servants, the people of Israel. I confess(E) the sins we Israelites, including myself and my father’s family, have committed against you. 7 We have acted very wickedly(F) toward you. We have not obeyed the commands, decrees and laws you gave your servant Moses.
8 “Remember(G) the instruction you gave your servant Moses, saying, ‘If you are unfaithful, I will scatter(H) you among the nations, 9 but if you return to me and obey my commands, then even if your exiled people are at the farthest horizon, I will gather(I) them from there and bring them to the place I have chosen as a dwelling for my Name.’(J)
10 “They are your servants and your people, whom you redeemed by your great strength and your mighty hand.(K)
