dourh - Nehemiah:6:1-14

dourh@Nehemiah:6:1 @ And it came to pass, when Sanaballat, and Tobias, and Gossem the Arabian, and the rest of our enemies, heard that I had built the wall, and that there was no breach left in it, (though at that time I had not set up the doors in the gates,)

dourh@Nehemiah:6:2 @ Sanaballat and Gossem Rent to me, saying: Come, and let us make a league together in the villages, in the plain of Ono. But they thought to do me mischief.

dourh@Nehemiah:6:3 @ And I sent messengers to them, saying: I am doing a great work, and I cannot come down, lest it be neglected whilst I come, and go down to you.

dourh@Nehemiah:6:4 @ And they sent to me according to this word, four times: and I answered them after the same manner.

dourh@Nehemiah:6:5 @ And Sanaballat sent his servant to me the fifth time according to the former word, and he had a letter in his hand written in this manner:

dourh@Nehemiah:6:6 @ It is reported amongst the Gentiles, and Gossem hath said it, that thou and the Jews think to rebel, and therefore thou buildest the wall, and hast a mind to set thyself king over them: for which end

dourh@Nehemiah:6:7 @ Thou hast also set up prophets, to preach of thee at Jerusalem, saying: There is a king in Judea. The king will hear of these things: therefore come now, that we may take counsel together.

dourh@Nehemiah:6:8 @ And I sent to them, saying: There is no such thing done as thou sayest: but thou feignest these things out of thy own heart.

dourh@Nehemiah:6:9 @ For all these men thought to frighten us, thinking that our hands would cease from the work, and that we would leave off. Wherefore I strengthened my hands the more:

dourh@Nehemiah:6:10 @ And I went into the house of Samaia the son of Delaia, the son of Metabeel privately. And he said: Let us consult together in the house of God in the midst of the temple: and let us shut the doors of the temple, for they will come to kill thee, and in the night they will come to slay thee.

dourh@Nehemiah:6:11 @ And I said: Should such a man as I Bee? and who is there that being as I am, would go into the temple, to save his life? I will not go in.

dourh@Nehemiah:6:12 @ And I understood that God had not sent him, but that he had spoken to me as if he had been prophesying, and Tobias, and Sanaballat had hired him.

dourh@Nehemiah:6:13 @ For he had taken money, that I being afraid should do this thing, and sin, and they might have some evil to upbraid me withal.

dourh@Nehemiah:6:14 @ Remember me, O Lord, for Tobias and Sanaballat, according to their works of this kind: and Noadias the prophet, and the rest of the prophets that would have put me in fear.
