Nehemiah 6:3-9

3So I sentH7971 messengersH4397 to them, sayingH559, “I am doingH6213 a greatH1419 workH4399 and I cannotH3201H3808 comeH3381 downH3381. WhyH4100 should the workH4399 stopH7673 whileH3512 I leaveH7503 it and comeH3381 downH3381 to you?” 4They sentH7971 messages to me fourH702 timesH6471 in thisH2088 mannerH1697, and I answeredH7725 them in the sameH2088 wayH1697. 5Then SanballatH5571 sentH7971 his servantH5288 to me in the sameH2088 mannerH1697 a fifthH2549 timeH6471 with an openH6605 letterH107 in his handH3027. 6In it was writtenH3789, “It is reportedH8085 among the nationsH1471, and 1GashmuH1654 saysH559, that 2you and the JewsH3064 are planningH2803 to rebelH4775; thereforeH5921H3651 you are rebuildingH1129 the wallH2346. And you are to be their kingH4428, according to theseH428 reportsH1697. 7You have alsoH1571 appointedH5975 prophetsH5030 to proclaimH7121 in JerusalemH3389 concerningH5921 3you, ‘A kingH4428 is in JudahH3063!’ And nowH6258 it will be reportedH8085 to the kingH4428 according to theseH428 reportsH1697. So comeH1980 nowH6258, let us takeH3289 counselH3289 togetherH3164.” 8Then I sentH7971 a message to him sayingH559, “SuchH428 thingsH1697 as you are sayingH559 have not beenH1961 doneH1961, but you are 4inventingH908 them 5in your own mindH3820.” 9For allH3605 of them were trying to frightenH3372 us, 6thinkingH559, “7They will becomeH3027H7503 discouragedH7503H3027 with the workH4399 and it will not be doneH6213.” But nowH6258, 8O God, strengthenH2388 my handsH3027.
