Now it came to pass, when Sanballat, [5571] and Tobiah, [2900] and Geshem [1654] the Arabian, [6163] and the rest [3499] of our enemies, [0341] heard [8085] that I had builded [1129] the wall, [2346] and [that] there was no breach [6556] left [3498] therein; (though [1571] at [5704] that time [6256] I had not set up [5975] the doors [1817] upon the gates;) [8179]

2

That Sanballat [5571] and Geshem [1654] sent [7971] unto me, saying, [0559] Come, [3212] let us meet [3259] together [3162] in [some one of] the villages [3715] in the plain [1237] of Ono. [0207] But they thought [2803] to do [6213] me mischief. [7451]

3

And I sent [7971] messengers [4397] unto them, saying, [0559] I [am] doing [6213] a great [1419] work, [4399] so that I cannot [3808] [3201] come down: [3381] why should the work [4399] cease, [7673] whilst [0834] I leave [7503] it, and come down [3381] to you?

4

Yet they sent [7971] unto me four [0702] times [6471] after this sort; [1697] and I answered [7725] them after the same manner. [1697]

5

Then sent [7971] Sanballat [5571] his servant [5288] unto me in like manner [1697] the fifth [2549] time [6471] with an open [6605] letter [0107] in his hand; [3027]

6

Wherein [was] written, [3789] It is reported [8085] among the heathen, [1471] and Gashmu [1654] saith [0559] [it, that] thou and the Jews [3064] think [2803] to rebel: [4775] for which cause [3651] thou buildest [1129] the wall, [2346] that thou mayest be [1933] their king, [4428] according to these words. [1697]

7

And thou hast also appointed [5975] prophets [5030] to preach [7121] of thee at Jerusalem, [3389] saying, [0559] [There is] a king [4428] in Judah: [3063] and now shall it be reported [8085] to the king [4428] according to these words. [1697] Come [3212] now therefore, and let us take counsel [3289] together. [3162]

8

Then I sent [7971] unto him, saying, [0559] There are no such things [1697] done [1961] as thou sayest, [0559] but thou feignest [0908] them out of thine own heart. [3820]

9

For they all made us afraid, [3372] saying, [0559] Their hands [3027] shall be weakened [7503] from the work, [4399] that it be not done. [6213] Now therefore, [O God], strengthen [2388] my hands. [3027]

10

Afterward I came [0935] unto the house [1004] of Shemaiah [8098] the son [1121] of Delaiah [1806] the son [1121] of Mehetabeel, [4105] who [was] shut up; [6113] and he said, [0559] Let us meet together [3259] in the house [1004] of God, [0430] within [8432] the temple, [1964] and let us shut [5462] the doors [1817] of the temple: [1964] for they will come [0935] to slay [2026] thee; yea, in the night [3915] will they come [0935] to slay [2026] thee.

11

And I said, [0559] Should such [3644] a man [0376] as I flee? [1272] and who [is there], that, [being] as I [am], would go [0935] into the temple [1964] to save his life? [2425] I will not go in. [0935]

12

And, lo, I perceived [5234] that God [0430] had not sent [7971] him; but that he pronounced [1696] this prophecy [5016] against me: for Tobiah [2900] and Sanballat [5571] had hired [7936] him.

13

Therefore [was] he hired, [7936] that I should be afraid, [3372] and do [6213] so, and sin, [2398] and [that] they might have [matter] for an evil [7451] report, [8034] that they might reproach [2778] me.

14

My God, [0430] think [2142] thou upon Tobiah [2900] and Sanballat [5571] according to these their works, [4639] and on the prophetess [5031] Noadiah, [5129] and the rest [3499] of the prophets, [5030] that would have put me in fear. [3372]

15

So the wall [2346] was finished [7999] in the twenty [6242] and fifth [2568] [day] of [the month] Elul, [0435] in fifty [2572] and two [8147] days. [3117]

16

And it came to pass, that when all our enemies [0341] heard [8085] [thereof], and all the heathen [1471] that [were] about [5439] us saw [7200] [these things], they were much [3966] cast down [5307] in their own eyes: [5869] for they perceived [3045] that this work [4399] was wrought [6213] of our God. [0430]

17

Moreover in those days [3117] the nobles [2715] of Judah [3063] sent [1980] many [7235] letters [0107] unto Tobiah, [2900] and [the letters] of Tobiah [2900] came [0935] unto them.

18

For [there were] many [7227] in Judah [3063] sworn [1167] [7621] unto him, because he [was] the son in law [2860] of Shechaniah [7935] the son [1121] of Arah; [0733] and his son [1121] Johanan [3076] had taken [3947] the daughter [1323] of Meshullam [4918] the son [1121] of Berechiah. [1296]

19

Also they reported [0559] his good deeds [2896] before [6440] me, and uttered [3318] my words [1697] to him. [And] Tobiah [2900] sent [7971] letters [0107] to put me in fear. [3372]
