Nehemiah 1:10 In-Context

8 Remember, I pray thee, the word wherewith thou didst charge thy servant Moses, saying, If ye break covenant , I will disperse you among the nations.

9 But if ye turn again to me, and keep my commandments, and do them; if ye should be scattered under the utmost of heaven, thence will I gather them, and I will bring them into the place which I have chosen to cause my name to dwell there.

10 Now they thy servants and thy people, whom thou hast redeemed with thy great power, and with thy strong hand.

11 not , I pray thee, O Lord, but let thine ear be attentive to the prayer of thy servant, and to the prayer of thy servants, who desire to fear thy name: and prosper, I pray thee, thy servant this day, and cause him to find mercy in the sight of this man. Now I was the king's cup-bearer.
