16-1:1 The words1697 of Nehemiah5166 the son1121 of Hachaliah.2446 And it came to pass1961 in the month2320 Chisleu,3691 in the twentieth6242 year,8141 as I589 was1961 in Shushan7800 the palace,1002
16-1:2 That Hanani,2607 one259 of my brethren,4480, 251 came,935 he1931 and certain men376 of Judah;4480, 3063 and I asked7592 them concerning5921 the Jews3064 that had escaped,6413 which834 were left7604 of4480 the captivity,7628 and concerning5921 Jerusalem.3389
16-1:3 And they said559 unto me, The remnant7604 that834 are left7604 of4480 the captivity7628 there8033 in the province4082 are in great1419 affliction7451 and reproach:2781 the wall2346 of Jerusalem3389 also is broken down,6555 and the gates8179 thereof are burned3341 with fire.784
16-1:4 And it came to pass,1961 when I heard8085 (853) these428 words,1697 that I sat down3427 and wept,1058 and mourned56 certain days,3117 and fasted,1961, 6684 and prayed6419 before6440 the God430 of heaven,8064
16-1:5 And said,559 I beseech577 thee, O LORD3068 God430 of heaven,8064 the great1419 and terrible3372 God,410 that keepeth8104 covenant1285 and mercy2617 for them that love157 him and observe8104 his commandments:4687
16-1:6 Let thine ear241 now4994 be1961 attentive,7183 and thine eyes5869 open,6605 that thou mayest hear8085, 413 the prayer8605 of thy servant,5650 which834 I595 pray6419 before6440 thee now,3117 day3119 and night,3915 for5921 the children1121 of Israel3478 thy servants,5650 and confess3034, 5921 the sins2403 of the children1121 of Israel,3478 which834 we have sinned2398 against thee: both I589 and my father's1 house1004 have sinned.2398
16-1:7 We have dealt very corruptly2254, 2254 against thee, and have not3808 kept8104 (853) the commandments,4687 nor the statutes,2706 nor the judgments,4941 which834 thou commandedst6680 (853) thy servant5650 Moses.4872
16-1:8 Remember,2142 I beseech4994 thee, (853) the word1697 that834 thou commandedst6680 (853) thy servant5650 Moses,4872 saying,559 If ye859 transgress,4603 I589 will scatter you abroad6327, (853) among the nations:5971
16-1:9 But if ye turn7725 unto413 me, and keep8104 my commandments,4687 and do6213 them; though518 there were1961 of you cast out5080 unto the uttermost part7097 of the heaven,8064 yet will I gather6908 them from thence,4480, 8033 and will bring935 them unto413 the place4725 that834 I have chosen977 to set7931 (853) my name8034 there.8033
16-1:10 Now these1992 are thy servants5650 and thy people,5971 whom834 thou hast redeemed6299 by thy great1419 power,3581 and by thy strong2389 hand.3027
16-1:11 O Lord,136 I beseech577 thee, let now4994 thine ear241 be1961 attentive7183 to413 the prayer8605 of thy servant,5650 and to413 the prayer8605 of thy servants,5650 who desire2655 to fear3372 (853) thy name:8034 and prosper,6743 I pray4994 thee, thy servant5650 this day,3117 and grant5414 him mercy7356 in the sight6440 of this2088 man.376 For I589 was1961 the king's4428 cupbearer.4945

16-2:1 And it came to pass1961 in the month2320 Nisan,5212 in the twentieth6242 year8141 of Artaxerxes783 the king,4428 that wine3196 was before6440 him: and I took up5375 (853) the wine,3196 and gave5414 it unto the king.4428 Now I had not3808 been1961 formerly sad7451 in his presence.6440
16-2:2 Wherefore the king4428 said559 unto me, Why4069 is thy countenance6440 sad,7451 seeing thou859 art not369 sick?2470 this2088 is nothing369 else but3588, 518 sorrow7455 of heart.3820 Then I was very3966 sore7235 afraid,3372
16-2:3 And said559 unto the king,4428 Let the king4428 live2421 forever:5769 why4069 should not3808 my countenance6440 be sad,7489 when834 the city,5892 the place1004 of my fathers'1 sepulchers,6913 lieth waste,2720 and the gates8179 thereof are consumed398 with fire?784
16-2:4 Then the king4428 said559 unto me, For5921 what4100, 2088 dost thou859 make request?1245 So I prayed6419 to413 the God430 of heaven.8064
16-2:5 And I said559 unto the king,4428 If518 it please2895, 5921 the king,4428 and if518 thy servant5650 have found favor3190 in thy sight,6440 that834 thou wouldest send7971 me unto413 Judah,3063 unto413 the city5892 of my fathers'1 sepulchers,6913 that I may build1129 it.
16-2:6 And the king4428 said559 unto me, (the queen7694 also sitting3427 by681 him,) For5704 how long4970 shall thy journey4109 be?1961 and when4970 wilt thou return?7725 So it pleased3190, 6440 the king4428 to send7971 me; and I set5414 him a time.2165
16-2:7 Moreover I said559 unto the king,4428 If518 it please2895, 5921 the king,4428 let letters107 be given5414 me to5921 the governors6346 beyond5676 the river,5104 that834 they may convey me over5674 till5704, 834 I come935 into413 Judah;3063
16-2:8 And a letter107 unto413 Asaph623 the keeper8104 of the king's4428 forest,6508 that834 he may give5414 me timber6086 to make beams7136 for (853) the gates8179 of the palace1002 which834 appertained to the house,1004 and for the wall2346 of the city,5892 and for the house1004 that834 I shall enter935 into.413 And the king4428 granted5414 me, according to the good2896 hand3027 of my God430 upon5921 me.
16-2:9 Then I came935 to413 the governors6346 beyond5676 the river,5104 and gave5414 them (853) the king's4428 letters.107 Now the king4428 had sent7971 captains8269 of the army2428 and horsemen6571 with5973 me.
16-2:10 When Sanballat5571 the Horonite,2772 and Tobiah2900 the servant,5650 the Ammonite,5984 heard8085 of it, it grieved7489 them exceedingly1419, 7451 that834 there was come935 a man120 to seek1245 the welfare2896 of the children1121 of Israel.3478
16-2:11 So I came935 to413 Jerusalem,3389 and was1961 there8033 three7969 days.3117
16-2:12 And I arose6965 in the night,3915 I589 and some few4592 men376 with5973 me; neither3808 told5046 I any man120 what4100 my God430 had put5414 in413 my heart3820 to do6213 at Jerusalem:3389 neither369 was there any beast929 with5973 me, save3588, 518 the beast929 that834 I589 rode7392 upon.
16-2:13 And I went out3318 by night3915 by the gate8179 of the valley,1516 even before413, 6440 the dragon8577 well,5869 and to413 the dung830 port,8179 and viewed1961, 7663 the walls2346 of Jerusalem,3389 which834 were broken down,6555 and the gates8179 thereof were consumed398 with fire.784
16-2:14 Then I went on5674 to413 the gate8179 of the fountain,5869 and to413 the king's4428 pool:1295 but there was no369 place4725 for the beast929 that was under8478 me to pass.5674
16-2:15 Then went I up1961, 5927 in the night3915 by the brook,5158 and viewed1961, 7663 the wall,2346 and turned back,7725 and entered935 by the gate8179 of the valley,1516 and so returned.7725
16-2:16 And the rulers5461 knew3045 not3808 whither575 I went,1980 or what4100 I589 did;6213 neither3808 had I as5704 yet3651 told5046 it to the Jews,3064 nor to the priests,3548 nor to the nobles,2715 nor to the rulers,5461 nor to the rest3499 that did6213 the work.4399
16-2:17 Then said559 I unto413 them, Ye859 see7200 the distress7451 that834 we587 are in, how834 Jerusalem3389 lieth waste,2720 and the gates8179 thereof are burned3341 with fire:784 come,1980 and let us build up1129 (853) the wall2346 of Jerusalem,3389 that we be1961 no3808 more5750 a reproach.2781
16-2:18 Then I told5046 them of (853) the hand3027 of my God430 which834, 1931 was good2896 upon5921 me; as also637 the king's4428 words1697 that834 he had spoken559 unto me. And they said,559 Let us rise up6965 and build.1129 So they strengthened2388 their hands3027 for this good2896 work.
16-2:19 But when Sanballat5571 the Horonite,2772 and Tobiah2900 the servant,5650 the Ammonite,5984 and Geshem1654 the Arabian,6163 heard8085 it, they laughed us to scorn,3932 and despised959, 5921 us, and said,559 What4100 is this2088 thing1697 that834 ye859 do?6213 will ye859 rebel4775 against5921 the king?4428
16-2:20 Then answered7725, 1697 I them, and said559 unto them, The God430 of heaven,8064 he1931 will prosper6743 us; therefore we587 his servants5650 will arise6965 and build:1129 but ye have no369 portion,2506 nor right,6666 nor memorial,2146 in Jerusalem.3389

16-4:1 But it came to pass,1961 that when834 Sanballat5571 heard8085 that3588 we587 built1129 (853) the wall,2346 he was wroth,2734 and took great indignation,7235, 3707 and mocked3932, 5921 the Jews.3064
16-4:2 And he spoke559 before6440 his brethren251 and the army2428 of Samaria,8111 and said,559 What4100 do6213 these feeble537 Jews?3064 will they fortify5800 themselves? will they sacrifice?2076 will they make an end3615 in a day?3117 will they revive2421 (853) the stones68 out of the heaps4480, 6194 of the rubbish6083 which1992 are burned?8313
16-4:3 Now Tobiah2900 the Ammonite5984 was by681 him, and he said,559 Even1571 that which834 they1992 build,1129 if518 a fox7776 go up,5927 he shall even break down6555 their stone68 wall.2346
16-4:4 Hear,8085 O our God;430 for3588 we are1961 despised:939 and turn7725 their reproach2781 upon413 their own head,7218 and give5414 them for a prey961 in the land776 of captivity:7633
16-4:5 And cover3680, 5921 not408 their iniquity,5771 and let not408 their sin2403 be blotted out4229 from before4480, 6440 thee: for3588 they have provoked thee to anger3707 before5048 the builders.1129
16-4:6 So built1129 we (853) the wall;2346 and all3605 the wall
