Nehemiah 6:6-13

6in which was writtenH3789: It is reported among the nationsH1471, and Gashmu saysH559 [it, that] thou and the JewsH3064 think to rebelH4775, for which cause thou buildest the wallH2346, and according to these wordsH1697 thou wilt become their kingH4428.

7And thou hast alsoH1571 appointedH5975 prophetsH5030 to proclaimH7121 concerning thee at JerusalemH3389 sayingH559, There is a kingH4428 in JudahH3063! And nowH6258 it will be reported to the kingH4428 according to these wordsH1697. Come nowH6258 thereforeH6258, and let us take counselH3289 togetherH3162.

8And I sentH7971 to him, sayingH559, There are no such thingsH1697 done as thou sayest, but thou feignest them out of thine own heartH3820.

9For they all would have madeH6213 us afraidH3372, sayingH559, Their handsH3027 shall be slackened from the workH4399, that it be not carried out. — NowH6258 thereforeH6258 strengthenH2388 my handsH3027!

10And I cameH935 to the houseH1004 of ShemaiahH8098 the sonH1121 of DelaiahH1806, the sonH1121 of Mehetabeel, who had shutH5462 himself up. And he saidH559, Let us meetH3259 togetherH3259 in the houseH1004 of 1GodH430, within the temple, and let us shutH5462 the doorsH1817 of the temple; for they are comingH935 to killH2026 thee; even in the nightH3915 are they comingH935 to killH2026 thee.

11And I saidH559, Should such a manH376 as I fleeH1272? and who is there, that, being as I am, could goH935 into the templeH1964, and live? I will not goH935 in.

12And I perceived, and behold, 2GodH430 had not sentH7971 him; for he pronounced this prophecyH5016 against me; and Tobijah and SanballatH5571 had hiredH7936 him.

13ThereforeH3651 was he hiredH7936, that I should beH1961 afraidH3372, and do soH3651, and sinH2398, and that they might have wherewith to spread an evilH7451 report, that they might reproachH2778 me.
