Nehemiah 2:2-4
EasyEnglish Bible

2 The king asked me, ‘Why are you sad? You are not ill. This must mean that you are very upset.’ I was very frightened.[a]

3 I replied to the king, ‘May the king live for ever! I am sad because enemies have destroyed the city where my ancestors are buried. They burned the city's gates.’

4 The king asked me, ‘What do you want me to do for you?’ So I prayed to our God who rules from heaven.[b]
