FAILURES #1 and #2 (1-9): What are the two failures identified? How did Israelites discover their failure #1? How did they react? How was the house of God desecrated (failure #2) and how did Nehemiah react?

FAILURES #3-#5(6-31): What were these three failures? How did Nehemiah react? What does it say about man’s ability to honor the covenant?
