Nehemiah 1:9-11

New Living Translation

⁹ But if you return to me and obey my commands and live by them, then even if you are exiled to the ends of the earth,^[a] I will bring you back to the place I have chosen for my name to be honored.’

¹⁰ “The people you rescued by your great power and strong hand are your servants. ¹¹ O Lord, please hear my prayer! Listen to the prayers of those of us who delight in honoring you. Please grant me success today by making the king favorable to me.^[b] Put it into his heart to be kind to me.”
