Nehemiah 2:3-5
EasyEnglish Bible
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.[a] 5 Then I said to the king, ‘Please sir, if you think it is a good idea and you are pleased with me, let me go to Judah. If you agree to send me there, I can build again the city where my ancestors are buried.’
