"and for the wood-offering, at times appointed, and for the first-fruits. Remember me, O my God, for good." — Nehemiah 13:31 (ASV)
Remember me, O my God, for good. —With these words Nehemiah leaves the scene, committing himself and his discharge of duty to the Righteous Judge. His conscientious fidelity had brought him into collision not only with external enemies but with many of his own brothers. His rigorous reformation has been assailed by many moralists and commentators in every age. But in these words he commits all to God, as if in anticipation. It may be added that with these words end the annals of Old Testament history.
