Nehemiah 1:2-3 ▼

2 Hanani (gracious), one of my brothers, arrived with men from Judah (praised). So I questioned them about the remnant of the Jews who had survived the exile, and also about Jerusalem (city of peace).

3 And they told me, “The remnant who survived the exile are there in the province, in great trouble and disgrace. The wall of Jerusalem (city of peace) is broken down, and its gates have been burned with fire.”
