Nehemiah 2:3 YLT

¹  And it cometh to pass, in the month of Nisan, the twentieth year of Artaxerxes the king, wine 'is' before him, and I lift up the wine, and give to the king, and I had not been sad before him;

²  and the king saith to me, 'Wherefore 'is' thy face sad, and thou not sick? this is nothing except sadness of heart;' and I fear very much,

³  and say to the king, 'Let the king to the age live! wherefore should not my face be sad, when the city, the place of the graves of my fathers, 'is' a waste, and its gates have been consumed with fire?'

⁴  And the king saith to me, 'For what art thou seeking?' and I pray unto the God of the heavens,

⁵  and say to the king, 'If to the king 'it be' good, and if thy servant be pleasing before thee, that thou send me unto Judah, unto the city of the graves of my fathers, and I built it.'
