Nehemiah 1:8-10

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁸ Remember the word that you commanded your servant Moses, ‘If you are unfaithful, I will scatter you among the peoples; ⁹ but if you return to me and keep my commandments and do them, though your outcasts are under the farthest skies, I will gather them from there and bring them to the place at which I have chosen to establish my name.’ ¹⁰ They are your servants and your people, whom you redeemed by your great power and your strong hand.
