The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from King James Bible: him mercy in the sight of this man. For I was the king's cupbearer.
NEH 2:1 And it came to pass in the month Nisan, in the twentieth year
of Artaxerxes the king, that wine was before him: and I took up the
wine, and gave it unto the king. Now I had not been beforetime sad in
his presence.
NEH 2:2 Wherefore the king said unto me, Why is thy countenance sad,
seeing thou art not sick? this is nothing else but sorrow of heart. Then
I was very sore afraid,
NEH 2:3 And said unto the king, Let the king live for ever: why should
not my countenance be sad, when the city, the place of my fathers'
sepulchres, lieth waste, and the gates thereof are consumed with fire?
