The failures of the Israelites are catalogued in generation after generation by Old Testament writers (who were also Israelites). The generation of Nehemiah was no exception. But the exceptional leadership of men like Nehemiah and Ezra led to great reforms, including an oath in this chapter to change their ways. It is in verse 29. Meditate on it carefully as you thoughtfully read the chapter.
