Then Nehemiah added: “You now may go. Eat rich food and drink what is sweet. Moreover, send some of these to those for whom nothing has been prepared, for this day is holy to our Lord. Furthermore, do not be grieved, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”
But who am I, and what are your people, that we should be able to do this? All things belong to you, and everything that we have given you is from your hand.
