Nehemiah 1:5 in Context — Nehemiah 1
3 Ils me répondirent: Ceux qui sont restés de la captivité sont là dans la province, au comble du malheur et de l’opprobre; les murailles de Jérusalem sont en ruines, et ses portes sont consumées par le feu.
4 Lorsque j’entendis ces choses, je m’assis, je pleurai, et je fus plusieurs jours dans la désolation. Je jeûnai et je priai devant le Dieu des cieux,
5 et je dis: O Éternel, Dieu des cieux, Dieu grand et redoutable, toi qui gardes ton alliance et qui fais miséricorde à ceux qui t’aiment et qui observent tes commandements!
6 Que ton oreille soit attentive et que tes yeux soient ouverts: écoute la prière que ton serviteur t’adresse en ce moment, jour et nuit, pour tes serviteurs les enfants d’Israël, en confessant les péchés des enfants d’Israël, nos péchés contre toi; car moi et la maison de mon père, nous avons péché.
7 Nous t’avons offensé, et nous n’avons point observé les commandements, les lois et les ordonnances que tu prescrivis à Moïse, ton serviteur.
