  1. Read verses 1-6. Who did some Jewish families cry out against? What problems did they have? How did Nehemiah respond to their cries (6)?

  2. Read verses 7-10. What action did Nehemiah take? What things had the nobles and officials done that weren’t right—name two things? What lesson should have they learned from history (8)? Why must God’s people do what is right—name two reasons (9)?
