    1Now it came to pass, when Sanballat, Tobiah, and Geshem the Arab, and the rest of our enemies heard that I had built the wall, and there was no gap in it; (though at that time I had not set up the doors on the gates;)

    2That Sanballat and Geshem sent to me, saying, Come, let us meet together in one of the villages in the plain of Ono. But they planned to harm me.

    3And I sent messengers to them, saying, I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down. Why should the work stop, while I leave it and come down to you?

    4Yet they sent to me four times in this manner; and I answered them in the same way.

    5Then Sanballat sent his servant to me in the same manner the fifth time with an open letter in his hand;

    6In which was written, It is reported among the nations, and Geshem says it, that you and the Jews plan to rebel: therefore you are building the wall, that you may be their king, according to these reports.

    7And you have also appointed prophets to announce concerning you at Jerusalem, saying, There is a king in Judah: and now it shall be reported to the king according to these words. Come now, therefore, and let us take counsel together.

    8Then I sent to him, saying, No such things as you say are being done, but you invent them in your own heart.

    9For they all made us afraid, saying, Their hands will be weakened from the work, so that it will not be done. Now therefore, O God, strengthen my hands.

    11And I said, Should a man like me flee? And who is there like me, who would go into the temple to save his life? I will not go in.

    12And, indeed, I perceived that God had not sent him; but that he pronounced this prophecy against me because Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.

    13Therefore he was hired, that I should be afraid, and act that way, and sin, so they might have cause for an evil report, that they might reproach me.

    14My God, remember Tobiah and Sanballat according to these their works, and the prophetess Noadiah, and the rest of the prophets, who would have made me afraid.
