Nehemiah 2:17,18 "Then I said to them, “You see the distress
that we are in, how Jerusalem lies waste,
and its gates are burned with fire. Come
and let us build the wall of Jerusalem,
that we may no longer be a reproach.”And I told them
of the hand of my God which had been
good upon me, and also of the king’s
words that he had spoken to me.
So they said, “Let us rise up and build.”
Then they set their hands to this good work.
