Nehemiah 6:7 BBE

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

⁶  And in it these words were recorded: It is said among the nations, and Geshem says so, that you and the Jews are hoping to make yourselves free from the king's authority; and that this is why you are building the wall: and they say that it is your purpose to be their king;

⁷  And that you have prophets preaching about you in Jerusalem, and saying, There is a king in Judah: now an account of these things will be sent to the king. So come now, and let us have a discussion.

⁸  Then I sent to him, saying, No such things as you say are being done, they are only a fiction you have made up yourself.

⁹  For they were hoping to put fear in us, saying, Their hands will become feeble and give up the work so that it may not get done. But now, O God, make my hands strong.
