Nehemiah 1:9-11

New King James Version

^9 (A)but if you return to Me, and keep My commandments and do them, ^(B)though some of you were cast out to the farthest part of the heavens, yet I will gather them from there, and bring them to the place which I have chosen as a dwelling for My name.’ ^10 (C)Now these are Your servants and Your people, whom You have redeemed by Your great power, and by Your strong hand. ¹¹ O Lord, I pray, please ^(D)let Your ear be attentive to the prayer of Your servant, and to the prayer of Your servants who ^(E)desire to fear Your name; and let Your servant prosper this day, I pray, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man.”

For I was the king’s ^(F)cupbearer.
