These are the words
of Nehemiah
son
of Hacaliah:
In the month
of Chislev,
in the twentieth

Hanani,
one
of my brothers,
arrived
with men
from Judah.
So I questioned them
about
the remnant
of the Jews
who
had survived
the exile,
and also about
Jerusalem.
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.

And they told
me,
“The remnant
who
survived
the exile
are there
in the province,
in great
trouble
and disgrace.
The wall
of Jerusalem
is broken down,
and its gates
are burned
with fire.”
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.

When I heard
these
words,
I sat down

I mourned
for days,
fasting

O Lord,
may Your ear
be
attentive
to
my prayer
and to
the prayers
of Your servants
who delight
to revere
Your name.
Give Your servant
success
this day,
I pray,

(At that time I
was
the cupbearer
to the king.)
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.
