Nehemiah 1:8-10

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁸ Remember the word which thou didst command thy servant Moses, saying, ‘If you are unfaithful, I will scatter you among the peoples; ⁹ but if you return to me and keep my commandments and do them, though your dispersed be under the farthest skies, I will gather them thence and bring them to the place which I have chosen, to make my name dwell there.’ ¹⁰ They are thy servants and thy people, whom thou hast redeemed by thy great power and by thy strong hand.
