Nehemiah 6:6-13

6wherein was writtenH3789, It is reportedH8085 among the nationsH1471, and GashmuH1654 saith it, that thou and the JewsH3064 thinkH2803 to rebelH4775; for whichH1471 causeH1697 thou buildest the wallH2346: and thou wouldest be their kingH4428, accordingH5921 to theseH428 wordsH1697.

7And thou hast also appointedH5975 prophetsH5030 to preach of thee at JerusalemH3389, sayingH559, There is a kingH4428 in JudahH3063: and nowH6258 shall it be reportedH8085 to the kingH4428 accordingH5921 to theseH428 wordsH1697. Come nowH6258 therefore, and letH6258 usH5921 takeH5975 counselH3289 togetherH3162.

8Then I sentH7971 unto him, sayingH559, There are noH3808 suchH428 things doneH1961 as thou sayest, but thou feignest them outH7971 of thine ownH1961 heartH3820.

9For they allH3605 would have madeH6213 usH3588 afraidH3372, sayingH559, Their handsH3027 shall be weakened from the workH4399, that it be notH3808 doneH6213. But nowH6258, O GodH559, strengthenH2388 thou my handsH3027.

10And I wentH935 unto the houseH1004 of ShemaiahH8098 the sonH1121 of DelaiahH1806 the sonH1121 of MehetabelH4105, who was shutH5462 upH5462; and he saidH559, Let usH413 meetH3259 togetherH3259 in the houseH1004 of GodH430, withinH8432 the templeH1004, and let usH413 shutH5462 the doorsH1817 of the templeH1004: for they will comeH935 to slayH2026 thee; yeaH3588, in the nightH3915 will they comeH935 to slayH2026 thee.

11And I saidH559, Should suchH834 a manH376 as I fleeH1272? and who is there, that, being suchH834 as I, would goH935 intoH413 the templeH1964 to save his life? I will notH3808 goH935 in.

12And I discerned, and, loH2009, GodH430 had notH3808 sentH7971 him: but he pronouncedH1696 this prophecyH5016 againstH5921 meH7971: and TobiahH2900 and SanballatH5571 had hiredH7936 him.

13For this causeH1961 was he hiredH7936, that I should be afraidH3372, and doH6213 soH3651, and sinH2398, and that they might have matter for an evilH7451 reportH8034, that they might reproachH2778 meH1961.
