Nehemiah 1:8-11

New American Standard Bible 1995

⁸ Remember the word which You commanded Your servant Moses, saying, ‘^(A)If you are unfaithful I will scatter you among the peoples; ^9 (B)but if you return to Me and keep My commandments and do them, though those of you who have been scattered were in the most remote part of the heavens, I ^(C)will gather them from there and will bring them ^(D)to the place where I have chosen to cause My name to dwell.’ ^10 (E)They are Your servants and Your people whom You redeemed by Your great power and by Your strong hand. ¹¹ O Lord, I beseech You, ^(F)may Your ear be attentive to the prayer of Your servant and the prayer of Your servants who delight to ^[a]revere Your name, and make Your servant successful today and grant him compassion before this man.”

Now I was the ^(G)cupbearer to the king.
