SEV Biblia, Chapter 1:7
En extremo nos hemos corrompido contra ti, y no hemos guardado los mandamientos, y estatutos y juicios, que mandaste a Moisés tu siervo.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Nehemiah 1:7
Verse 7. Have not kept thy commandments] The moral precepts by which our lives should be regulated. Statutes] What refers to the rites and ceremonies of thy religion.
Judgments] The precepts of justice relative to our conduct to each other.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 7. We have dealt very corruptly against thee , etc.] Corrupted his covenant, laws, and precepts, as well as themselves, ways, and works; all which were against the Lord, contrary to his nature, mind, and will: and have not kept the commandments, nor the statutes, nor the judgments, which thou commandedst thy servant Moses ; the laws, moral, ceremonial, and judicial.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Nehemiah's distress for the misery of Jerusalem, His prayer.
--Nehemiah was the Persian king's cup-bearer. When God has work to do he will never want instruments to do it with. Nehemiah lived at ease and in honour, but does not forget that he is an Israelite, and tha his brethren are in distress. He was ready to do them all the goo offices he could; and that he might know how best to do them kindness, he makes inquiries about them. We should inquire especiall concerning the state of the church and religion. Every Jerusalem of this side the heavenly one will have some defect, which will requir the help and services of its friends. Nehemiah's first application wa to God, that he might have the fuller confidence in his application to the king. Our best pleas in prayer are taken from the promise of God the word on which he has caused us to hope. Other means must be used but the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails most Communion with God will best prepare us for our dealings with men. When we have intrusted our concerns to God, the mind is set at liberty; i feels satisfaction and composure, and difficulties vanish. We know tha if the affair be hurtful, he can easily hinder it; and if it be goo for us, he can as easily forward it __________________________________________________________________
