Nehemiah 1:4-6
Evangelical Heritage Version
4 When I heard about these things, I sat down and wept. I mourned for days, fasting and praying before the God of Heaven.[a] 5 I said:
Please, Lord, the God of Heaven, the great and awe-inspiring God, who preserves the covenant and faithfulness for those who love him and keep his commands: 6 Let your ear be attentive and your eyes be open as you hear the prayer of your servant today, which I am now praying before you day and night, concerning the Israelites, who are your servants. I am also confessing the sins of the people of Israel that we committed against you. I and my father’s house have also sinned.
