But if ye turn unto me, and keep my commandments, and do them; though there were of you cast out unto the uttermost part of the heaven, yet will I gather them from thence, and will bring them unto the place that I have chosen to set my name there.

Verse 9 is found in chapter 1 of Nehemiah. When asking the king for help, Nehemiah combines prayer with a precise administrative request: permission to travel, official letters, and timber for the work. His request shows that the faith portrayed in the narrative does not exclude planning or responsible use of resources. The expression about the good hand of God interprets the favor received as providence working through ordinary political circumstances.

Wo ihr euch aber bekehrt zu mir und haltet meine Gebote und tut sie, und ob ihr verstoßen wäret bis an der Himmel Ende, so will ich euch doch von da versammeln und will euch bringen an den Ort, den ich erwählt habe, daß mein Name daselbst wohne.
Mas os volveréis a mí, y guardaréis mis mandamientos, y los pondréis por obra. Si fuere vuestro lanzamiento hasta el cabo de los cielos, de allí os juntaré; y traerlos he al lugar que escogí para hacer habitar allí mi nombre.
mais si vous revenez à moi, et si vous observez mes commandements et les mettez en pratique, alors, quand vous seriez exilés à l'extrémité du ciel, de là je vous rassemblerai et je vous ramènerai dans le lieu que j'ai choisi pour y faire résider mon nom.
Ma se allora voi vi convertite a me, ed osservate i miei comandamenti, e li mettete in opera; avvegnachè voi foste stati scacciati fino all’estremità del cielo, io vi raccoglierò di là, e vi condurrò al luogo, il quale io avrò eletto per istanziarvi il mio nome.
E vós vos convertereis a mim, e guardareis os meus mandamentos, e os cumprireis; então, ainda que os vossos rejeitados estejam na extremidade do céu, de lá os ajuntarei e os trarei ao lugar que tenho escolhido para ali fazer habitar o meu nome.
但你們若歸向我,謹守遵行我的誡命,你們被趕散的人雖在天涯,我也必從那裏將他們召集回來,帶到我所選擇立為我名居所的地方。』
