Nehemiah 1:7-9

We have acted corruptly toward you and have not kept the commands, statutes, and ordinances you gave your servant Moses.  Please remember what you commanded your servant Moses: “If you are unfaithful, I will scatter you among the peoples.  But if you return to me and carefully observe my commands, even though your exiles were banished to the farthest horizon,  I will gather them from there and bring them to the place where I chose to have my name dwell.”
