NE-2:2 Wherefore the king said unto me, Why [is] thy countenance 
sad, seeing thou [art] not sick? this [is] nothing [else] but 
sorrow of heart. Then I was very sore afraid,



NE-2:3 And said unto the king, Let the king live for ever: why 
should not my countenance be sad, when the city, the place of my 
fathers' sepulchres, [lieth] waste, and the gates thereof are 
consumed with fire?



NE-2:4 Then the king said unto me, For what dost thou make 
request? So I prayed to the God of heaven.



NE-2:6 And the king said unto me, (the queen also sitting by him,
) For how long shall thy journey be? and when wilt thou return? 
So it pleased the king to send me; and I set him a time.



NE-2:19 But when Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant, 
the Ammonite, and Geshem the Arabian, heard [it], they laughed 
us to scorn, and despised us, and said, What [is] this thing 
that ye do? will ye rebel against the king?



NE-4:2 And he spake before his brethren and the army of Samaria, 
and said, What do these feeble Jews? will they fortify 
themselves? will they sacrifice? will they make an end in a day? 
will they revive the stones out of the heaps of the rubbish 
which are burned?



NE-5:8 And I said unto them, We after our ability have redeemed 
our brethren the Jews, which were sold unto the heathen; and 
will ye even sell your brethren? or shall they be sold unto us? 
Then held they their peace, and found nothing [to answer].



NE-5:9 Also I said, It [is] not good that ye do: ought ye not to 
walk in the fear of our God because of the reproach of the 
heathen our enemies?



NE-6:3 And I sent messengers unto them, saying, I [am] doing a 
great work, so that I cannot come down: why should the work 
cease, whilst I leave it, and come down to you?



NE-6:11 And I said, Should such a man as I flee? and who [is 
there], that, [being] as I [am], would go into the temple to 
save his life? I will not go in.



NE-13:11 Then contended I with the rulers, and said, Why is the 
house of God forsaken? And I gathered them together, and set 
them in their place.



NE-13:17 Then I contended with the nobles of Judah, and said 
unto them, What evil thing [is] this that ye do, and profane the 
sabbath day?



NE-13:18 Did not your fathers thus, and did not our God bring 
all this evil upon us, and upon this city? yet ye bring more 
wrath upon Israel by profaning the sabbath.



NE-13:21 Then I testified against them, and said unto them, Why 
lodge ye about the wall? if ye do [so] again, I will lay hands 
on you. From that time forth came they no [more] on the sabbath.



NE-13:26 Did not Solomon king of Israel sin by these things? yet 
among many nations was there no king like him, who was beloved 
of his God, and God made him king over all Israel: nevertheless 
even him did outlandish women cause to sin.



NE-13:27 Shall we then hearken unto you to do all this great 
evil, to transgress against our God in marrying strange wives?
