Nehemiah 1:9-11
Common English Bible
9 But if you return to me and keep my commandments by really doing them, then, even though your outcasts live[a] under distant skies, I will gather them from there and bring them to the place that I have chosen as a dwelling for my name.’ 10 They are your servants and your people. They are the ones whom you have redeemed by your great power and your strong hand.
11 “Lord, let your ear be attentive to the prayer of your servant and to the prayer of your servants who delight in honoring your name. Please give success to your servant today and grant him favor in the presence of this man!”
Cupbearer’s plea
At that time, I was a cupbearer to the king.
