Nehemiah 1:6-8

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁶ Let your ear be attentive and your eyes be open as you hear the prayer of your servant today, which I am now praying before you day and night, concerning the Israelites, who are your servants. I am also confessing the sins of the people of Israel that we committed against you. I and my father’s house have also sinned. ⁷ We have acted very corruptly against you, and we have not kept the commands, nor the statutes, nor the ordinances that you commanded Moses your servant.

⁸ Please remember the command you gave to Moses your servant when you said, “If you are unfaithful, I will scatter you among the peoples.
