But they thought2803 to do6213 me mischief7451. 6:3 And I sent7971 messengers4397 unto them, saying0559, I {am} doing6213 a great1419 work4399, so that I cannot3201 come down3381: why should the work4399 cease7673, whilst0834 I leave7503 it, and come down3381 to you? 6:4 Yet they sent7971 unto me four0702 times6471 after this sort1697; and I answered7725 them after the same manner1697. 6:5 Then sent7971 Sanballat5571 his servant5288 unto me in like manner1697 the fifth2549 time6471 with an open6605 letter0107 in his hand3027; 6:6 Wherein {was} written3789, It is reported8085 among the heathen1471, and Gashmu1654 saith0559 {it, that} thou and the Jews3064 think2803 to rebel4775: for which cause3651 thou buildest1129 the wall2346, that thou mayest be1933 their king4428, according to these words1697. 6:7 And thou hast also appointed5975 prophets5030 to preach7121 of thee at Jerusalem3389, saying0559, {There is} a king4428 in Judah3063: and now shall it be reported8085 to the king4428 according to these words1697. Come3212 now therefore, and let us take counsel3289 together3162. 6:8 Then I sent7971 unto him, saying0559, There are1961 no such things1697 done1961 as thou sayest0559, but thou feignest0908 them out of thine own heart3820. 6:9 For they all made us afraid3372, saying0559, Their hands3027 shall be weakened7503 from the work4399, that it be not done6213. Now therefore, {O God}, strengthen2388 my hands3027. 6:10 Afterward I came0935 unto the house1004 of Shemaiah8098 the son1121 of Delaiah1806 the son1121 of Mehetabeel4105, who {was} shut up6113; and he said0559, Let us meet together3259 in the house1004 of God0430, within8432 the temple1964, and let us shut5462 the doors1817 of the temple1964: for they will come0935 to slay2026 thee; yea, in the night3915 will they come0935 to slay2026 thee. 6:11 And I said0559, Should such3644 a man0376 as I flee1272? and who {is there}, that, {being} as I {am}, would go0935 into the temple1964 to save his life2425? I will not go in0935. 6:12 And, lo, I perceived5234 that God0430 had not sent7971 him; but that he pronounced1696 this prophecy5016 against me: for Tobiah2900 and Sanballat5571 had hired7936 him. 6:13 Therefore {was} he hired7936, that I should be afraid3372, and do so6213, and sin2398, and {that} they might have {matter} for an evil7451 report8034, that they might reproach2778 me. 6:14 My God0430, think2142 thou upon Tobiah2900 and Sanballat5571 according to these their works4639, and on the prophetess5031 Noadiah5129, and the rest3499 of the prophets5030, that would have put me in fear3372. 6:15 So the wall2346 was finished7999 in the twenty6242 and fifth2568 {day} of {the month} Elul0435, in fifty2572 and two8147 days3117. 6:16 And it came to pass, that when all our enemies0341 heard8085 {thereof}, and all the heathen1471 that {were} about us5439 saw7200 {these things}, they were much3966 cast down5307 in their own eyes5869: for they perceived3045 that this work4399 was wrought6213 of our God0430. 6:17 Moreover in those days3117 the nobles2715 of Judah3063 sent1980 many7235 letters0107 unto Tobiah2900, and {the letters} of Tobiah2900 came0935 unto them. 6:18 For {there were} many7227 in Judah3063 sworn1167-7621 unto him, because he {was} the son in law2860 of Shechaniah7935 the son1121 of Arah0733; and his son1121 Johanan3076 had taken3947 the daughter1323 of Meshullam4918 the son1121 of Berechiah1296. 6:19 Also they reported0559 his good deeds2896 before6440 me, and uttered3318 my words1697 to him. {And} Tobiah2900 sent7971 letters0107 to put me in fear3372.
