Nehemiah 1:8-10

Contemporary English Version

^8 (A) Please remember the promise you made to Moses. You told him that if we were unfaithful, you would scatter us among foreign nations. ^9 (B) But you also said that no matter how far away we were, we could turn to you and start obeying your laws. Then you would bring us back to the place where you have chosen to be worshiped.

¹⁰ Our Lord, I am praying for your servants—those you rescued by your great strength and mighty power.
