Nehemiah 6:7-9

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁷ You have also set up prophets to make a proclamation about you in Jerusalem: ‘A king is in Judah.’ Now reports like these will be heard by the king. So now come, let us consult with one another.”

⁸ So I sent a reply to him: “These things that you are saying have not been done, since you are simply making them up.”

⁹ So all of them were trying to intimidate us, thinking, “Their hands will grow weary of the work, and it will not be finished.”

So now, strengthen my hands!
