Nehemiah 6:8-10

Evangelical Heritage Version

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!

¹⁰ Then I came to the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah, the son of Mehetabel. (He was restricted.) He said, “Let’s meet at the house of God in the middle of the temple. Let’s close the doors of the temple, since they are coming to kill you—at night they are coming to kill you.”
