Nehemiah 6:8-10
Holman Christian Standard Bible
8 Then I replied to him, “There is nothing to these rumors you are spreading; you are inventing them in your own mind.”(A) 9 For they were all trying to intimidate(B) us, saying, “They will become discouraged[a] in the work,(C) and it will never be finished.”
But now, my God, strengthen me.[b](D)
Attempts to Intimidate Nehemiah
10 I went to the house of Shemaiah son of Delaiah, son of Mehetabel, who was restricted to his house. He said:
Let us meet at the house of God
inside the temple.
Let us shut the temple doors
because they are coming to kill you.
They are coming to kill you tonight![c]
