Nehemiah 6:8-10

Revised Geneva Translation

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.

¹⁰ And I came to the house of Shemaiah, the son of Delaiah, the son of Mehetabel. And he was shut up. And he said, “Let us come together into the House of God, in the midst of the Temple, and shut the doors of the Temple. For they will come to kill you. Yea, in the night will they come to kill you.”
