Then I said ^H559 to them, “You see ^H7200 the bad ^H7451 situation ^H7451 we are in, that Jerusalem ^H3389 is desolate ^H2720 and its gates ^H8179 have been burned ^H3341 by fire ^H784. Come ^H1980, let’s rebuild ^H1129 the wall ^H2346 of Jerusalem ^H3389 so that we will no ^H3808 longer ^H5750 be a disgrace ^H2781.”

And our enemies ^H6862 said ^H559, “They will not know ^H3045 or see ^H7200 until ^H5704 H834 we come ^H935 among ^H413 H8432 them, kill ^H2026 them, and put ^H7673 a ^H7673 stop ^H7673 to ^H7673 the work ^H4399.”

Furthermore ^H1571, since ^H4480 the day ^H3117 that I was appointed ^H6680 to be their governor ^H6346 in the land ^H776 of Judah ^H3063, from the twentieth ^H6242 year ^H8141 to the thirty-second ^H7970 H8147 year ^H8141 of King ^H4428 Artaxerxes ^H783, for twelve ^H8147 H6240 years ^H8141, neither ^H3808 I nor ^H3808 my kinsmen ^H251 have eaten ^H398 the governor’s ^H6346 food ^H3899 allowance.

These ^H428 were the ones who came ^H5927 up ^H5927 from Tel-melah ^H8528, Tel-harsha ^H8521, Cherub ^H3743, [fn]Addon ^H114, and Immer ^H564; but they could ^H3201 not provide ^H5046 evidence ^H5046 for their fathers’ ^H1 households ^H1004 or their [fn]descendants ^H2233, whether ^H518 they were of Israel ^H3478:

“They refused ^H3985 to listen ^H8085,

And did not remember ^H2142 Your wondrous ^H6381 deeds ^H6381 which ^H834 You performed ^H6213 among ^H5973 them;

So they became ^H7185 H6203 stubborn ^H7185 H6203 and appointed ^H5414 a leader ^H7218 to return ^H7725 to their slavery ^H5659 in [fn]Egypt ^H4714.

But You are a God ^H433 of forgiveness ^H5547,

Gracious ^H2587 and compassionate ^H7349,

Slow ^H750 to anger ^H639 and abounding ^H7227 in [fn]mercy ^H2617;

And You did not abandon ^H5800 them.

You, in Your great ^H7227 compassion ^H7356,

Did not abandon ^H5800 them in the wilderness ^H4057;

The pillar ^H5982 of cloud ^H6051 did not leave ^{H5493 H4480 H5921} them by day ^H3119,

To guide ^H5148 them on their way ^H1870,

Nor ^H3808 the pillar ^H5982 of fire ^H784 by night ^H3915, to light ^H215 for them the way ^H1870 in which ^H834 they were to go ^H1980.

“Instead, You gave ^H5414 Your good ^H2896 Spirit ^H7307 to instruct ^H7919 them,

You did not withhold ^H4513 Your manna ^H4478 from their mouth ^H6310,

And You gave ^H5414 them water ^H4325 for their thirst ^H6772.

“Indeed, for forty ^H705 years ^H8141 You provided ^H3557 for ^H3557 them in the wilderness ^H4057 and they were not lacking ^H2637;

Their clothes ^H8008 did not wear ^H1086 out ^H1086, nor ^H3808 did their feet ^H7272 swell ^H1216 up.

And admonished ^H5749 them in order to turn ^H7725 them back ^H7725 to Your Law ^H8451.

Yet they acted ^H2102 arrogantly ^H2102 and did not listen ^H8085 to Your commandments ^H4687 but sinned ^H2398 against Your ordinances ^H4941,

Which ^H834, if a person ^H120 [fn]follows ^H6213 them, then he will live ^H2421 by them.

And they [fn]turned ^H5414 a stubborn ^H5637 shoulder ^H3802 and stiffened ^H7185 their neck ^H6203, and would not listen ^H8085.

“However, You remained ^H4900 patient ^H4900 with them for many ^H7227 years ^H8141,

And admonished ^H5749 them by Your Spirit ^H7307 through ^H3027 Your prophets ^H5030,

Yet they would not listen ^H238.

Therefore You handed ^H5414 H3027 them over ^H5414 to the peoples ^H5971 of the lands ^H776.

“Nevertheless, in Your great ^H7227 compassion ^H7356 You did not make ^H6213 an end ^H3617 of them or abandon ^H5800 them,

For You are a gracious ^H2587 and compassionate ^H7349 God ^H410.

“For our kings ^H4428, our leaders ^H8269, our priests ^H3548, and our fathers ^H1 have not kept ^H6213 Your Law ^H8451

Or paid ^H7181 attention ^H7181 to Your commandments ^H4687 and Your [fn]admonitions ^H5715 with which ^H834 You have [fn]admonished ^H5749 them.

“But they, in their own kingdom ^H4438,

With Your great ^H7227 goodness ^H2898 which ^H834 You gave ^H5414 them,

With the broad ^H7342 and rich ^H8082 land ^H776 which ^H834 You placed ^H5414 before ^H6440 them,

Did not serve ^H5647 You or turn ^H7725 from their evil ^H7451 deeds ^H4611.

I also [fn]discovered ^H3045 that the portions ^H4521 of the Levites ^H3881 had not been given ^H5414 to them, so the Levites ^H3881 and the singers ^H7891 who performed ^H6213 the service ^H4399 had [fn]gone ^H1272 away ^H1272, each ^H376 to his own field ^H7704.

And it came ^H1961 about ^H1961 that just ^H834 as ^H834 it became ^H6751 dark ^H6751 at the gates ^H8179 of Jerusalem ^H3389 before ^H6440 the Sabbath ^H7676, I ordered ^H559 that the doors ^H1817 be shut ^H5462, [fn]and that they were not to open ^H6605 them until ^H5704 after ^H310 the Sabbath ^H7676. Then I stationed ^H5975 some of my servants ^H5288 at the gates ^H8179 so that no ^H3808 load ^H4853 would enter ^H935 on the Sabbath ^H7676 day ^H3117.
