Nehemiah 2:3-5
The Voice
Nehemiah: 3 May your life and reign extend forever, King!
Why should my face look anything but sad? My homeland is destroyed; my city is a heap of rubble; its once-mighty gates are nothing more than charred tinder. This is the place where my ancestors are supposed to be at rest, but the very ground where they lie is ruined!
Artaxerxes: 4 What is it you want?
All at once, I prayed to the God of heaven 5 and made my request to the king.
Nehemiah (to God and Artaxerxes): If I have won your favor, my king, and if it is your pleasure, send me to the city where my ancestors are buried. Let me rebuild the city in Judah.
