⁶ So we built the wall. And all the wall was joined together to half its height, for the people had a mind to work.

¹³ for ^(A)it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for ^(B)his good pleasure.

^21 (A)equip you with everything good that you may do his will, ^(B)working in us^[a] that which is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, ^(C)to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.

The Wall Is Finished

¹⁵ So the wall was finished on the twenty-fifth day of the month Elul, in fifty-two days.

¹⁴ “But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able thus to offer willingly? For all things come from you, and of your own have we given you.

³ Moreover, in addition to all that I have provided for the holy house, I have a treasure of my own of gold and silver, and because of my devotion to the house of my God I give it to the house of my God:

¹⁷ I know, my God, ^(A)that you test the heart and ^(B)have pleasure in uprightness. In the uprightness of my heart I have freely offered all these things, and now I have seen your people, who are present here, offering freely and joyously to you. ¹⁸ O Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, our fathers, keep forever such purposes and thoughts in the hearts of your people, and direct their hearts toward you.

Commendation of Titus

¹⁶ But ^(A)thanks be to God, ^(B)who put into the heart of Titus the same earnest care I have for you. ¹⁷ For ^(C)he not only accepted our appeal, but being himself very earnest he is going^[a] to you of his own accord.

³⁶ And Hezekiah and all the people rejoiced because God had provided for the people, for the thing came about suddenly.
