Nehemiah 1:6-7

Nehemiah's Prayer

⁶ _l let your ear be attentive and your eyes open, to hear the prayer of your servant that I now pray before you day and night for the people of Israel your servants, _m confessing the sins of the people of Israel, which we have sinned against you. Even _n I and my father's house have sinned. ⁷ _o We have acted very corruptly against you and have not kept the commandments, the statutes, and the rules _p that you commanded your servant Moses.
