Nehemiah 6:3-9
3And I sentH7971 messengersH4397 to them, sayingH559, I am doingH6213 a greatH1419 workH4399, so that I cannotH3201 come downH3381: why should the workH4399 ceaseH7673, whileH834 I leaveH7503 it, and come downH3381 to you? 4Yet they sentH7971 to me fourH702 timesH6471 in this wayH1697; and I answeredH7725 them after the same mannerH1697. 5Then SanballatH5571 sentH7971 his servantH5288 to me in like mannerH1697 the fifthH2549 timeH6471 with an openH6605 letterH107 in his handH3027; 6In which 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 proclaimH7121 concerning 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 to him, sayingH559, There areH1961 no such thingsH1697 doneH1961 as thou sayestH559, but thou maketh upH908 them out of thy own heartH3820. 9For they all made us afraidH3372, sayingH559, Their handsH3027 shall be weakenedH7503 from the workH4399, that it may not be doneH6213. Now therefore, O God, strengthenH2388 my handsH3027.
