Nehemiah 6:8-10
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 drop their hands from[a] the work,(C) and it will never be finished.”
But now, my God, strengthen my hands.(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’s meet at the house of God,
inside the temple.
Let’s shut the temple doors
because they’re coming to kill you.
They’re coming to kill you tonight![b]
