Nehemiah 1:8-10

New International Reader's Version

⁸ “Remember what you told him. You said, ‘If you people are not faithful, I will scatter you among the nations. ⁹ But if you return to me, I will bring you back. If you obey my commands, I will gather you together again. I will bring you back from the farthest places on earth. I will bring you to the special place where I have chosen to put my Name.’

¹⁰ “Lord, they are your people. They serve you. You used your great strength and mighty hand to set them free from Egypt.
