Nehemiah 6:9-11

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

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:

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.

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.
