Nehemiah 2:15-17

Jubilee Bible 2000

¹⁵ Then went I up in the night by the brook and considered the wall and turned back and entered by the gate of the valley and so returned.

¹⁶ And the rulers did not know where I had gone or what I had done; neither had I as yet told it to the Jews nor to the priests nor to the nobles nor to the rulers nor to the rest that did the work.

¹⁷ Then said I unto them, Ye see the distress that we are in, how Jerusalem lies waste and its gates are burned with fire; come, and let us build up the wall of Jerusalem, that we be no longer in reproach.
