Nehemiah 6:5-9

5Then sentH7971 SanballatH5571 his servantH5288 unto me in like mannerH1697 the fifthH2549 timeH6471 with an openH6605 letterH107 in his handH3027;

6Wherein was writtenH3789, It is reportedH8085 among the heathenH1471, and GashmuH1654 saithH559 it, that thou and the JewsH3064 thinkH2803 to rebelH4775: for which causeH3651 thou buildestH1129 the wallH2346, that thou mayest beH1933 their kingH4428, according to these wordsH1697.1

7And thou hast also appointedH5975 prophetsH5030 to preachH7121 of thee at JerusalemH3389, sayingH559, There is a kingH4428 in JudahH3063: and now shall it be reportedH8085 to the kingH4428 according to these wordsH1697. ComeH3212 now therefore, and let us take counselH3289 togetherH3162.

8Then I sentH7971 unto him, sayingH559, There areH1961 no such thingsH1697 doneH1961 as thou sayestH559, but thou feignestH908 them out of thine own heartH3820.

9For they all made us afraidH3372, sayingH559, Their handsH3027 shall be weakenedH7503 from the workH4399, that it be not doneH6213. Now therefore, O God, strengthenH2388 my handsH3027.
