Nehemiah 6:7-9

Revised Geneva Translation

⁷ “You have also ordained the Prophets to preach of you at Jerusalem, saying, “There is a king in Judah.” And now according to these words, it shall come to the king’s ears. Come now, therefore, and let us take counsel together.”

⁸ Then I sent to him, saying, “Nothing is done according to these words that you speak. For you feign them from your own heart.”

⁹ For they were all trying to frighten us, saying, “Their hands shall be weakened from the work, and it shall not be done.” Now, therefore, encourage me.
