Nehemiah 1:6-8

Contemporary English Version

⁶ I am your servant, so please have mercy on me and answer the prayer that I make day and night for these people of Israel who serve you. I, my family, and the rest of your people have sinned ⁷ by choosing to disobey you and the laws and teachings you gave to your servant Moses.

^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.
