The Book of Nehamiah
CHAPTER 1
Nehemiah 1:1
1 The words of Nehemiah the son of Hachaliah. And it came to pass in the
month Chisleu, in the twentieth year, as I was in Shushan the palace,
Nehemiah 1:2
2 That Hanani, one of my brethren, came, he and certain men of Judah; and I
asked them concerning the Jews that had escaped, which were left of the
captivity, and concerning Jerusalem. Nehemiah 1:3
3 And they said unto me, The remnant that are left of the captivity there
in the province are in great affliction and reproach: the wall of Jerusalem
also is broken down, and the gates thereof are burned  with fire. Nehemiah
1:4
4 And it came to pass, when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept,
and mourned certain days, and fasted, and prayed before the God of heaven,
Nehemiah 1:5
5 And said, I beseech thee, O LORD God of heaven, the great and terrible
God, that keepeth covenant and mercy for them that love him and observe 
his commandments:
Nehemiah 1:6
6 Let thine ear now be attentive, and thine eyes open, that thou mayest
hear the prayer of thy servant, which I pray before thee now, day and
night, for the children  of Israel  thy servants,  and confess  the sins 
of the children  of Israel,  which we have sinned  against thee: both I and
my father's  house  have sinned.
Nehemiah 1:7
7 We have dealt very corruptly against thee, and have not kept the
commandments, nor the statutes, nor the judgments, which thou commandedst
thy servant Moses.
Nehemiah 1:8
8 Remember, I beseech thee, the word that thou commandedst thy servant
Moses, saying, If ye transgress, I will scatter you abroad among the
nations:
Nehemiah 1:9
9 But if ye turn unto me, and keep my commandments, and do them; though
there were of you cast out unto the uttermost part of the heaven, yet will
I gather them from thence, and will bring them unto the place that I have
chosen to set my name  there.
Nehemiah 1:10
10 Now these are thy servants and thy people, whom thou hast redeemed by
thy great power, and by thy strong hand. Nehemiah 1:11
11 O Lord, I beseech thee, let now thine ear be attentive to the prayer of
thy servant, and to the prayer of thy servants, who desire to fear thy
name: and prosper, I pray thee, thy servant  this day,  and grant  him
mercy  in the sight  of this man.  For I was the king's  cupbearer. CHAPTER
2
Nehemiah 2:1
1 And it came to pass in the month Nisan, in the twentieth year of
Artaxerxes the king, that wine was before him: and I took up the wine, and
gave it unto the king.  Now I had not been beforetime sad  in his presence.
Nehemiah 2:2
2 Wherefore the king said unto me, Why is thy countenance sad, seeing thou
art not sick? this is nothing else but sorrow of heart. Then I was very
sore afraid,
Nehemiah 2:3
3 And said unto the king, Let the king live for ever: why should not my
countenance be sad, when the city, the place of my fathers' sepulchres,
lieth waste, and the gates  thereof are consumed  with fire? Nehemiah 2:4
4 Then the king said unto me, For what dost thou make request? So I prayed
to the God of heaven.
Nehemiah 2:5
5 And I said unto the king, If it please the king, and if thy servant have
found favour in thy sight, that thou wouldest send me unto Judah, unto the
city of my fathers' sepulchres, that I may build  it. Nehemiah 2:6
6 And the king said unto me, (the queen also sitting by him,) For how long
shall thy journey be? and when wilt thou return? So it pleased the king to
send me; and I set him a time.
Nehemiah 2:7
7 Moreover I said unto the king, If it please the king, let letters be
given me to the governors beyond the river, that they may convey me over
till I come into Judah;
Nehemiah 2:8
8 And a letter unto Asaph the keeper of the king's forest, that he may give
me timber to make beams for the gates of the palace which appertained to
the house, and for the wall of the city,  and for the house  that I shall
enter into.  And the king  granted  me, according to the good  hand  of my
God upon me.
Nehemiah 2:9
9 Then I came to the governors beyond the river, and gave them the king's
letters. Now the king had sent captains of the army and horsemen with me.
Nehemiah 2:10
10 When Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, heard
of it, it grieved them exceedingly that there was come a man to seek the
welfare of the children  of Israel. Nehemiah 2:11
11 So I came to Jerusalem, and was there three days. Nehemiah 2:12
12 And I arose in the night, I and some few men with me; neither told I any
man what my God had put in my heart to do at Jerusalem: neither was there
any beast  with me, save the beast  that I rode upon. Nehemiah 2:13
13 And I went out by night by the gate of the valley, even before the
dragon well, and to the dung port, and viewed the walls of Jerusalem, which
were broken down,  and the gates  thereof were consumed  with fire.
Nehemiah 2:14
14 Then I went on to the gate of the fountain, and to the king's pool: but
there was no place for the beast that was under me to pass. Nehemiah 2:15
15 Then went I up in the night by the brook, and viewed the wall, and
turned back, and entered by the gate of the valley, and so returned.
Nehemiah 2:16
16 And the rulers knew not whither I went, or what I did; neither had I as
yet told it to the Jews, nor to the priests, nor to the nobles, nor to the
rulers, nor to the rest that did the work. Nehemiah 2:17
17 Then said I unto them, Ye see the distress that we are in, how Jerusalem
lieth waste, and the gates thereof are burned with fire: come, and let us
build up the wall of Jerusalem, that we be no more a reproach. Nehemiah
2:18
18 Then I told them of the hand of my God which was good upon me; as also
the king's words that he had spoken unto me. And they said, Let us rise up
and build. So they strengthened their hands for this good  work. Nehemiah
2:19
19 But when Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite,
and Geshem the Arabian, heard it, they laughed us to scorn, and despised
us, and said, What is this thing that ye do?  will ye rebel  against the
king? Nehemiah 2:20
20 Then answered I them, and said unto them, The God of heaven, he will
prosper us; therefore we his servants will arise and build: but ye have no
portion, nor right, nor memorial, in Jerusalem. CHAPTER 3
