Nehemiah 6:8-15

8Then I sentH7971 himH413 this replyH559: “There isH1961 nothingH3808 to theseH428 rumorsH1697 youH859 are spreadingH559H3588; youH859 are inventing themH908 in your own mindH3820.”

9ForH3588 they were allH3605 trying to frightenH3372 usH853, sayingH559, “Their handsH3027 will be weakenedH7503 inH4480 the workH4399, and it will neverH3808 be finishedH6213.”

But now, my GodH6258,1 strengthenH2388 my handsH3027.

10Later, IH589 wentH935 to the houseH1004 of ShemaiahH8098 sonH1121 of DelaiahH1806, the sonH1121 of MehetabelH4105, whoH1931 was confinedH6113 to his house. He saidH559:

11But I repliedH559, “Should a manH376 like meH3644 run awayH1272? ShouldH4310 one like meH3644 goH935 intoH413 the templeH1964 to save his own lifeH2421? I will notH3808 goH935!”

12I realizedH5234H2009 that GodH430 had notH3808 sent himH7971, but that he had utteredH1696 this prophecyH5016 against meH5921 becauseH3588 TobiahH2900 and SanballatH5571 had hired himH7936. 13HeH1931 had been hiredH7936 toH4616 intimidate meH3372 so that I would sinH2398 by doingH6213 as he suggestedH3651, so they could give meH1961 a badH7451 nameH8034 in order toH4616 discredit meH2778.

14O my GodH430, rememberH2142 TobiahH2900 and SanballatH5571 for what they have doneH4639H428, and alsoH1571 NoadiahH5129 the prophetessH5031 and the otherH3499 prophetsH5030 whoH834H1961 tried to intimidate meH3372.

15So the wallH2346 was completedH7999 in fifty-twoH2572H8147 daysH3117, on the twenty-fifthH6242H2568 of ElulH435.2
