Nehemiah 6:8-15

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. 10Afterward I cameH935 unto the houseH1004 of ShemaiahH8098 the sonH1121 of DelaiahH1806 the sonH1121 of MehetabeelH4105, who was shut upH6113; and he saidH559, Let us meet togetherH3259 in the houseH1004 of GodH430, withinH8432 the templeH1964, and let us shutH5462 the doorsH1817 of the templeH1964: for they will comeH935 to slayH2026 thee; yea, in the nightH3915 will they comeH935 to slayH2026 thee. 11And I saidH559, Should suchH3644 a manH376 as I fleeH1272? and who is there, that, being as I am, would goH935 into the templeH1964 to save his lifeH2425? I will not go inH935. 12And, lo, I perceivedH5234 that GodH430 had not sentH7971 him; but that he pronouncedH1696 this prophecyH5016 against me: for TobiahH2900 and SanballatH5571 had hiredH7936 him. 13Therefore was he hiredH7936, that I should be afraidH3372, and do soH6213, and sinH2398, and that they might have matter for an evilH7451 reportH8034, that they might reproachH2778 me. 14My GodH430, thinkH2142 thou upon TobiahH2900 and SanballatH5571 according to these their worksH4639, and on the prophetessH5031 NoadiahH5129, and the restH3499 of the prophetsH5030, that would have put me in fearH3372.

15So the wallH2346 was finishedH7999 in the twentyH6242 and fifthH2568 day of the month ElulH435, in fiftyH2572 and twoH8147 daysH3117.
