Nehemiah 1:4 in Context — Nehemiah 1
2 Veio Hanani, um de meus irmãos, ele e [alguns] homens de Judá, e perguntei-lhes pelos judeus que haviam escapado, que restaram do cativeiro, e por Jerusalém.
3 E me disseram: Os remanescentes, os que restaram do cativeiro lá na província, estão em grande miséria e desprezo; e o muro de Jerusalém está fendido, e suas portas queimadas a fogo.
4 E aconteceu que, quando eu ouvi estas palavras, sentei-me e chorei, e fiquei de luto por [alguns] dias; e jejuei e orei diante do Deus dos céus.
5 E disse: Ó SENHOR, Deus dos céus, Deus grande e temível, que guarda o pacto e a bondade aos que o amam e guardam seus mandamentos!
6 Estejam, pois, os teus ouvidos atentos, e teus olhos abertos, para ouvires a oração de teu servo, que eu oro hoje diante de ti dia e noite, pelos filhos de Israel, teus servos; e confesso os pecados dos filhos de Israel que pecamos contra ti; também eu e a casa de meu pai pecamos.
