Nehemiah 1:9-11 But if you turn to me, and keep my commandments, and do them; though there were of you cast out to the uttermost part of the heaven… The whole of God's doings in grace are as the links of a chain, not lying apart, but united together, and the first through an unbroken series leading to the last. Hence Nehemiah finds a plea in what the Lord has done for His people, that He will still show them mercy. (W. Ritchie.) Parallel Verses KJV: 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. |
