Nehemiah 6:8-10

Young's Literal Translation

⁸ And I send unto him, saying, `It hath not been according to these words that thou art saying, for from thine own heart thou art devising them;'

⁹ for all of them are making us afraid, saying, `Their hands are too feeble for the work, and it is not done;' and now, strengthen Thou my hands.

¹⁰ And I have entered the house of Shemaiah son of Delaiah, son of Mehetabeel -- and he is restrained -- and he saith, `Let us meet at the house of God, at the inside of the temple, and we shut the doors of the temple, for they are coming in to slay thee -- yea, by night they are coming in to slay thee.'
