Nehemiah 1:8-10
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
8 (A)But remember the admonition which you addressed to Moses, your servant, when you said: If you prove faithless, I will scatter you among the peoples; 9 but if you return to me and carefully keep my commandments, even though your outcasts have been driven to the farthest corner of the world, I will gather them from there, and bring them back to the place I have chosen as the dwelling place for my name. 10 (B)They are your servants, your people, whom you freed by your great might and strong hand.
