Nehemiah 6:6-13

  6 H3789 in which was written, H8085 "It is reported H1471 among the nations, H1654 and Gashmu H559 says H3064 it, that you and the Jews H2803 intend H4775 to rebel. H1933 Because of that, you are H1129 building H2346 the wall. H1933 You would be H4428 their king, H1697 according to these words.

  7 H5975 You have also appointed H5030 prophets H7121 to preach H3389 of you at Jerusalem, H559 saying, H4428 ‘There is a king H3063 in Judah!' H8085 Now it will be reported H4428 to the king H1697 according to these words. H3212 Come H3289 now therefore, and let us take counsel H3162 together."

  8 H7971 Then I sent H559 to him, saying, H1961 "There are H1697 no such things H1961 done H559 as you say, H908 but you imagine H3820 them out of your own heart."

  9 H3372 For they all would have made us afraid, H559 saying, H3027 "Their hands H7503 will be weakened H4399 from the work, H6213 that it not be done. H2388 But now, strengthen H3027 my hands."

  10 H935 I went H1004 to the house H8098 of Shemaiah H1121 the son H1806 of Delaiah H1121 the son H4105 of Mehetabel, H6113 who was shut in H559 at his home; and he said, H3259 "Let us meet together H1004 in the house H430 of God, H8432 within H1964 the temple, H5462 and let us shut H1817 the doors H1964 of the temple; H935 for they will come H2026 to kill H3915 you; yes, in the night H935 will they come H2026 to kill you."

  11 H559 I said, H3644 "Should such H376 a man H1272 as I flee? H935 Who is there that, being such as I, would go H1964 into the temple H2425 to save his life? H935 I will not go in."

  12 H5234 I discerned, H430 and behold, God H7971 had not sent H1696 him; but he pronounced H5016 this prophecy H2900 against me. Tobiah H5571 and Sanballat H7936 had hired him.

  13 H7936 He hired H3372 so that I would be afraid, H6213 do so, H2398 and sin, H7451 and that they might have material for an evil H8034 report, H2778 that they might reproach me.
