3 |May the king live forever!| I said to the king. |Why shouldn't I look sad when the city, the place where my ancestors are buried, is in ruins and its gates are burned down?| 4 |What do you want?| the king asked me. So I prayed to the God of heaven, 5 and I asked the king, |If it pleases Your Majesty, and you are willing to grant my request, let me go to Judah, to the city where my ancestors are buried, so that I can rebuild it.| Nehemiah 2:3-5, God's Word Translation.
