3. The words of Nehemiah son of Hacaliah:
(In the early winter of 444BC),
while I was in the citadel of Susa,
Hanani, one of my brothers,
came from Judah with some other men,
and I questioned them about the Jewish
remnant
that survived the exile, and also about
Jerusalem.
They said to me,
“Those who survived the exile
and are back in the province
are in great trouble and disgrace.
The wall of Jerusalem is broken down,
and its gates have been burned with fire.”
When I heard these things, I sat down and
wept.
For some days I mourned and fasted and
prayed

the Jews are a…scattered people
with no live link to the past
and only fragile hopes for the future.”

5. Psalm 137:5-6 (NIV)
If I forget you, O Jerusalem,
may my right hand forget its skill.
May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth
if I do not remember you,
if I do not consider Jerusalem my highest joy.
