WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:02.100 The Book of Nehemiah. 00:02.860 --> 00:03.440 Chapter 1. 00:24.380 --> 00:28.600 The remnant that are left of the captivity there in the province are in great 00:28.600 --> 00:30.000 affliction and reproach. 00:30.240 --> 00:34.740 The wall of Jerusalem also is broken down, and the gates thereof are burned with 00:34.740 --> 00:35.140 fire. 00:35.320 --> 00:39.620 And it came to pass, when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept, 00:40.120 --> 00:44.340 and mourned certain days, and fasted, and prayed before the God of heaven, 00:44.720 --> 00:50.580 and said, I beseech thee, O Lord God of heaven, the great and terrible God, 00:51.160 --> 00:54.940 that keepeth covenant and mercy for them that love him and observe his 00:54.940 --> 00:55.380 commandments. 00:55.380 --> 01:01.900 Let thine ear now be attentive, and thine eyes open, that thou mayest hear 01:01.900 --> 01:06.860 the prayer of thy servant, which I pray before thee now, day and night, 01:07.160 --> 01:12.240 for the children of Israel thy servants, and confess the sins of the children of 01:12.240 --> 01:14.740 Israel, which we have sinned against thee. 01:15.380 --> 01:19.260 Both I and my Father's house have sinned. 01:20.120 --> 01:24.000 We have dealt very corruptly against thee, and have not kept the commandments, 01:24.320 --> 01:28.740 nor the statutes, nor the judgments, which thou commandest thy servant Moses. 01:29.500 --> 01:35.340 Remember, I beseech thee, the word thou commandest thy servant Moses, saying, 01:36.320 --> 01:39.440 If ye transgress, I will scatter you abroad among the nations. 01:40.220 --> 01:44.600 But if ye turn unto me, and keep my commandments, and do them, though they 01:44.600 --> 01:49.580 were of you cast out unto the uttermost part of the heaven, yet will I gather them 01:49.580 --> 01:54.140 from thence, and will bring them unto the place that I have chosen to set my name 01:54.140 --> 01:54.380 thou. 01:55.280 --> 02:00.200 Now these are thy servants and thy people, whom thou hast redeemed by thy great power 02:00.200 --> 02:02.220 and by thy strong hand. 02:03.220 --> 02:08.860 O Lord, I beseech thee, let now thine ear be attentive to the prayer of thy servant, 02:09.400 --> 02:13.280 and to the prayer of thy servants, who desire to fear thy name. 02:13.820 --> 02:18.800 And prosper, I pray thee, thy servant this day, and grant him mercy in the sight of 02:18.800 --> 02:19.220 this man. 02:19.220 --> 02:21.680 For I was the king's cupbearer.
