Nehemiah 6:6-13

Wherein [was] written
<03789> (8803)_,

It is reported
<08085> (8738)

among the heathen
<01471>_,

and Gashmu
<01654>

saith
<0559> (8802)

[it, that] thou and the Jews
<03064>

think
<02803> (8802)

to rebel
<04775> (8800)_:

for which cause
<03651>

thou buildest
<01129> (8802)

the wall
<02346>_,

that thou mayest be
<01933> (8802)

their king
<04428>_,

according to these words
<01697>_.

And thou hast also appointed
<05975> (8689)

prophets
<05030>

to preach
<07121> (8800)

of thee at Jerusalem
<03389>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

[There is] a king
<04428>

in Judah
<03063>_:

and now shall it be reported
<08085> (8735)

to the king
<04428>

according to these words
<01697>_.

Come
<03212> (8798)

now therefore, and let us take counsel
<03289> (8735)

together
<03162>_.

Then I sent
<07971> (8799)

unto him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

There are
<01961> (0)

no such things
<01697>

done
<01961> (8738)

as thou sayest
<0559> (8802)_,

but thou feignest
<0908> (8802)

them out of thine own heart
<03820>_.

For they all made us afraid
<03372> (8764)_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

Their hands
<03027>

shall be weakened
<07503> (8799)

from the work
<04399>_,

that it be not done
<06213> (8735)_.

Now therefore, [O God], strengthen
<02388> (8761)

my hands
<03027>_.

Afterward I came
<0935> (8804)

unto the house
<01004>

of Shemaiah
<08098>

the son
<01121>

of Delaiah
<01806>

the son
<01121>

of Mehetabeel
<04105>_,

who [was] shut up
<06113> (8803)_;

and he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Let us meet together
<03259> (8735)

in the house
<01004>

of God
<0430>_,

within
<08432>

the temple
<01964>_,

and let us shut
<05462> (8799)

the doors
<01817>

of the temple
<01964>_:

for they will come
<0935> (8802)

to slay
<02026> (8800)

thee; yea, in the night
<03915>

will they come
<0935> (8802)

to slay
<02026> (8800)

And I said
<0559> (8799)_,

Should such
<03644>

a man
<0376>

as I flee
<01272> (8799)_?

and who [is there], that, [being] as I [am], would go
<0935> (8799)

into the temple
<01964>

to save his life
<02425> (8804)_?

I will not go in
<0935> (8799)_.

And, lo, I perceived
<05234> (8686)

that God
<0430>

had not sent
<07971> (8804)

him; but that he pronounced
<01696> (8765)

this prophecy
<05016>

against me: for Tobiah
<02900>

and Sanballat
<05571>

had hired
<07936> (8804)

Therefore [was] he hired
<07936> (8803)_,

that I should be afraid
<03372> (8799)_,

and do so
<06213> (8799)_,

and sin
<02398> (8804)_,

and [that] they might have [matter] for an evil
<07451>

report
<08034>_,

that they might reproach
<02778> (8762)
