Nehemiah 1:1-3 King James Version (KJV)
1 The words of Nehemiah the son of Hachaliah. And it came to pass in the month Chisleu, in the twentieth year, as I was in Shushan the palace,
2 That Hanani, one of my brethren, came, he and certain men of Judah; and I asked them concerning the Jews that had escaped, which were left of the captivity, and concerning Jerusalem.
3 And they said unto me, The remnant that are left of the captivity there in the province are in great affliction and reproach: the wall of Jerusalem also is broken down, and the gates thereof are burned with fire.
Nehemiah 1:1-3 Common English Bible (CEB)
Loss of Jerusalem
1 These are the words of Nehemiah, Hacaliah’s son.
In the month of Kislev, in the twentieth year, while I was in the fortress city of Susa, 2 Hanani, one of my brothers, came with some other men from Judah. I asked them about the Jews who had escaped and survived the captivity, and about Jerusalem.
3 They told me, “Those in the province who survived the captivity are in great trouble and shame! The wall around Jerusalem is broken down, and its gates have been destroyed by fire!”

1 It says the words of Nehemiah but these are the words of God that came thru Nehemiah.
2-3 There were some Jews that lived from thru the entire captivity. These men would have remembered how things were prior. These men would have remembered the temple and how their home used to look. There apparently were some Jews that were left and not taken. The people new it was not the same. We can not let the way things were keep us from making things into what they should be.
