10Now therefore alet me alone, that bmy wrath may burn hot against them and cI may consume them, in order that dI may make a great nation of you.”11But eMoses implored the Lord his God and said, “O Lord, why does your wrath burn hot against your people, whom you have brought out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand?
Deuteronomy 9:8
8Even fat Horeb you provoked the Lord to wrath, and the Lord was so angry with you that he was ready to destroy you.Nehemiah 1:2-7
2that gHanani, one of my brothers, came with certain men from Judah. And I asked them concerning the Jews who escaped, who had survived the exile, and concerning Jerusalem. 3And they said to me, “The remnant there in the province who had survived the exile is in great trouble and hshame. iThe wall of Jerusalem is broken down, jand its gates are destroyed by fire.”Nehemiah’s Prayer
4As soon as I heard these words I ksat down and wept and mourned for days, and I continued fasting and praying before the lGod of heaven. 5And I said, “O Lord God of heaven, mthe great and awesome God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, 6 nlet your ear be attentive and your eyes open, to hear the prayer of your servant that I now pray before you day and night for the people of Israel your servants, oconfessing the sins of the people of Israel, which we have sinned against you. Even pI and my father’s house have sinned. 7 qWe have acted very corruptly against you and have not kept the commandments, the statutes, and the rules rthat you commanded your servant Moses.Luke 12:4-5
