Nehemiah 2:2-4
New American Standard Bible
2 So the king said to me, “Why is your face sad, though you are not ill? (A)This is nothing but sadness of heart.” Then I was very much afraid. 3 And I said to the king, “(B)May the king live forever. Why should my face not be sad (C)when the city, the [a]site of my fathers’ tombs, is desolate and its gates have been consumed by fire?” 4 Then the king said to me, “[b]What would you request?” (D)So I prayed to the God of heaven.
