Nehemiah 6:9-11

Legacy Standard Bible

⁹ For all of them were trying to frighten us, ^[a]thinking, “Their hands will ^[b]become limp in doing the work, and it will not be done.” But now, ^(A)O God, strengthen my hands.

¹⁰ Now I entered the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah, son of Mehetabel, ^(B)who was ^[c]confined at home, and he said, “Let us meet together in the house of God, within the temple, and let us close the doors of the temple, for they are coming to kill you, and they are coming to kill you at night.” ¹¹ But I said, “^(C)Should a man like me flee? And could one such as I go into the temple just to live? I will not go in.”
