• Peter’s warnings are very true: (2 Pet. 2:3). How unlike Nehemiah, who waited upon God for his blessing and recompense. (“Nehemiah's Personal Conduct - Neh. 5:14-19” by N. Simon)
• It has been often said that this prayer, as others recorded by him, is evidence that Nehemiah moved on a low spiritual platform, as it would have been a far higher thing had he not thought of any recompense at all. It may be so; and, as we have pointed out, Nehemiah certainly had not the simple faith of Ezra. On the other hand, we cannot fail to see in the sketch here given that he was distinguished, in a day of confusion and ruin, by a rare devotedness to the service of his God, by an upright conscience, and by an utter self-forgetfulness, in his intense desire for the glory of God in the welfare of His people.
