Nehemiah 6:9-11 For they all would have made us afraid, saying, "Their hands will be weakened from the work, that it not be done. But now, strengthen my hands."

NHEB⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁹ For they all would have made us afraid, saying, "Their hands will be weakened from the work, that it not be done. But now, strengthen my hands." ¹⁰ I went to the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah the son of Mehetabel, who was shut in at his home; and he said, "Let us meet together in God's house, within the temple, and let us shut the doors of the temple; for they will come to kill you; yes, in the night will they come to kill you." ¹¹ I said, "Should such a man as I flee? Who is there that, being such as I, would go into the temple to save his life? I will not go in."
