Nehemiah 6:2-4

Jubilee Bible 2000

² that Sanballat and Geshem sent unto me, saying, Come, let us meet together in one of the villages in the plain of Ono. But they had thought to do me evil.

³ And I sent messengers unto them, saying, I am doing a great work so that I cannot come down; why should the work cease, whilst I leave it and come down to you?

⁴ Yet they sent unto me four times after this sort, and I answered them after the same manner.
