Nehemiah 6:2-4

21st Century King James Version

² that Sanballat and Geshem sent unto me, saying, “Come, let us meet together in one of the villages in the plain of Ono.” But they thought to do me mischief.

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

⁴ Yet they sent unto me four times in this manner, and I answered them in the same manner.
