Nehemiah 1:7-9
New English Translation
7 We have behaved corruptly against you, not obeying the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments that you commanded your servant Moses. 8 Please recall the word you commanded your servant Moses: ‘If you act unfaithfully, I will scatter you among the nations.[a] 9 But if you repent[b] and obey[c] my commandments and do them, then even if your dispersed people are in the most remote location,[d] I will gather them from there and bring them to the place I have chosen for my name to reside.’
