Nehemiah 1:5-7
Legacy Standard Bible
5 I said, “I beseech You, O [a]Yahweh, the God of heaven, (A)the great and fearsome God, (B)who keeps the covenant and lovingkindness for those who love Him and keep His commandments, 6 (C)let Your ear now be attentive and Your eyes open to hear the prayer of Your slave which I am praying before You today, day and night, on behalf of the sons of Israel Your slaves, (D)confessing the sins of the sons of Israel which we have sinned against You; (E)I and my father’s house have sinned. 7 (F)We have worked in utter destruction against You and have not kept the commandments, nor the statutes, nor the judgments (G)which You commanded Your [b]servant Moses.
