Nehemiah 6

  1 G2532 And G1096 it came to pass G2531 as G191 Sanballat heard, G3588   G*   G2532 and G3588   G* Tobiah, G2532 and G3588   G* Geshem G3588 the G* Arabian, G2532 and G3588 the G2645 rest G3588   G2190 of our enemies, G1473   G3754 that G3618 I built G3588 the G5038 wall, G2532 that G3756 there was no G2641 [²left G1722 ³in G1473 ⁴it G1249.1 ¹breach]; G2532 (and G1065 indeed G2193 until G3588   G2540 that time G1565   G2374 [³ the doors G3756 ¹I did not G2186 ²set up] G1722 in G3588 the G4439 gates)

  2 G2532 that G649 [⁴sent G* ¹Sanballat G2532 ²and G* ³Geshem] G4314 to G1473 me, G3004 saying, G1204 Come, G2532 for G4863 we should come G1909 together G3588   G1473   G1722 in G3588 the G2968 towns G1722 in G3977.1 the plain G* of Ono! G2532 But G1473 they G3049 were considering G1473 [³against me G4160 ¹to do G4189 ²harm].

  3 G2532 And G649 I sent G1909 [²unto G1473 ³them G32 ¹messengers], G3004 saying, G2041 The work G3173 is great G1473 that I G4160 do, G2532 and G3756 I am not able G1410   G2597 to go down, G3379 lest at any time G2664 [³should rest G3588 ¹the G2041 ²work]; G5613 when G302 ever G5048 I shall perfect G1473 it, G2597 I shall go down G4314 to G1473 you.

  4 G2532 And G649 they sent G4314 to G1473 me G5613 as G3588   G4487 this saying G3778   G5064 four G2526.2 returns; G2532 and G649 I sent G1473 to them G2596 according to G3588   G3056 this word. G3778  

  5 G2532 And G649 [²sent G4314 ³to G1473 ⁴me G* ¹Sanballat] G2596 according to G3588   G3056 this word G3778   G3588 the G3991 fifth time G3816 by his servant, G1438   G2532 and G1992 a letter G455 being open G1722 was in G5495 his hand. G1473  

  6 G2532 And G1510.7.3 was G1125 written G1722 on G1473 it, G1722 Among G1484 the nations G191 it was heard, G2532 and G* Geshem G2036 said G3754 that G1473 you G2532 and G3588 the G* Jews G3049 are considering G647.2 to defect. G1223 On account of G3778 this G1473 you G3618 are building G3588 the G5038 wall, G2532 and G1473 you G1096 should be G1473 to them G1519 for G935 king.

  7 G2532 And G4314 to G3778 these things G4396 [³prophets G2476 ¹you established G4572 ²to yourself] G2784 to proclaim G4012 for G1473 you G1722 in G* Jerusalem, G3004 saying G3754 that G936 you reigned G1722 in G* Judea. G2532 And G3568 now G518 [²will be reported G3588 ³to the G935 ⁴king G3588   G3056 ¹these words]. G3778   G2532 And G3568 now G1204 come G1011 we should consult G1909 together. G3588   G1473  

  8 G2532 And G649 I sent G4314 to G1473 him, G3004 saying, G3756 It happened not G1096   G5613 as G3588   G3056 these words G3778   G3779 which G1473 you G3004 say, G3754 for G575 [³from G2588 ⁴ the heart G1473 ¹you G5574 ²lie] G1473 about them.

  9 G3754 For G3956 all G5397.2 were throwing us into fear, G1473   G3004 saying, G1590 [²shall be made faint G3588   G5495 ¹Their hands] G1473   G575 from G3588   G2041 this work, G3778   G2532 and G3756 it shall not G4160 be done. G2532 And G3568 now G2901 I strengthened G3588   G5495 my hands. G1473  

  10 G2504 And I G1525 entered G1519 into G3624 the house G* of Shemaiah G5207 son G* of Dalaiah, G5207 son G* of Mehetabeel, G2532 and G1473 he G4912 was constrained; G2532 and G2036 he said, G4863 We should gather together G1519 in G3624 the house G3588   G2316 of God, G1722 in G3319 the midst G1473 of it, G2532 and G2808 we should lock G3588   G2374 its doors, G1473   G3754 for G2064 they are coming G3571 by night G5407 to murder G1473 you.

  11 G2532 And G2036 I said, G5100 Who G1510.2.3 is G3588 the G435 man G3634 such as G1473 I G5343 that shall flee? G2228 Or G5100 who G3634 such as G1473 I G1525 shall enter G1519 into G3588 the G3624 house G2532 and G2198 shall live?

  12 G3756 I shall not enter. G1525   G2532 And G1921 I realized, G2532 and G2400 behold, G3588   G2316 God G3756 did not G649 send G1473 him, G3754 for G3588 the G4394 prophesy G3056 was a word G2596 against G1473 me. G2532 And G* Tobiah G2532 and G* Sanballat G3409 hired G1473 him,

  13 G3704 so that G5399 I should fear, G2532 and G4160 should do G3779 thus, G2532 and G264 should sin, G2532 and G1096 that I should become G1473 to them G1519 for G3686 [²name G4190 ¹a bad], G3704 so as G3679 to berate G1473 me.

  14 G3403 Remember, G3588 O G2316 my God, G1473   G3588   G* Tobiah G2532 and G3588   G* Sanballat! G5613 according to G3588   G4161 [²their actions G1473   G3778 ¹these], G2532 and G3588   G* Noadiah G3588 the G4396 prophet, G2532 and G3588 to the G2645 rest G3588 of the G4396 prophets G3739 who G1510.7.6 were G5397.2 throwing me into fear. G1473  

  15 G2532 And G5055 [³was finished G3588 ¹the G5038 ²wall] G3991 the fifth G2532 and G1497.2 twentieth G3588 of the G* [²Elul G3376 ¹month], G1519 in G4004 fifty G1417 two G2250 days.

  16 G2532 And G1096 it came to pass G2259 when G191 [³heard G3956 ¹all G3588   G2190 ²our enemies], G1473   G2532 that G5399 [⁶feared G3956 ¹all G3588 ²the G1484 ³nations G3588   G2945 ⁴round about G1473 ⁵us], G2532 and G1968 [⁴fell upon G5401 ³fear G3173 ²great G4970 ¹an exceedingly] G1722   G3788 their eyes. G1473   G2532 And G1097 they knew G3754 that G3844 by G3588   G2316 God G1473 [³of ours G1096 ⁴was G5048 ⁵perfected G3588   G2041 ²work G3778 ¹this].

  17 G2532 And G1722 in G3588   G2250 those days G1565   G575 [³from G4183 ⁴many G1784 ⁵important men G* ⁶of Judah G1992 ¹letters G4198 ²went] G4314 to G* Tobiah, G2532 and G3588 those G* of Tobiah G2064 came G4314 to G1473 them.

  18 G3754 For G4183 many G1722 in G* Judah G1774.4 [²bound by an oath G1510.7.6 ¹were] G1473 to him, G3754 for G1059.2 [²son-in-law G1510.7.3 ¹he was] G3588   G* of Shechaniah G5207 son G* of Arah. G2532 And G* Johanan G5207 his son G1473   G2983 took G3588 the G2364 daughter G* of Meshullam, G5207 son G* of Berechiah G1519 for G1135 wife.

  19 G2532 And indeed G1065   G3588 the things G4851 being advantageous to him G1473   G3004 he spoke G1799 before G1473 me; G2532 and G3056 [³my words G1473   G1510.7.6 ¹they were G1627 ²bringing] G1473 to him. G2532 And G1992 [³letters G649 ²sent G* ¹Tobiah] G5397.2 to throw me into fear. G1473
