Nehemiah 6:2-4

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

² Sanballat and Geshem^(A) sent me a message: ‘Come, let’s meet together in the villages of^[a] the Ono Valley.’^(B) They were planning to harm me.

³ So I sent messengers to them, saying, ‘I am doing important work and cannot come down. Why should the work cease while I leave it and go down to you? ’ ⁴ Four times they sent me the same proposal, and I gave them the same reply.
