And he prayed to God for the strength and courage to carry on. Then Shemaiah told Nehemiah that God had said to tell him:
Those officials are going to kill you! Quick! Let’s hide!
But Nehemiah replied: That’s not what God says to do! I’m going to get the wall rebuilt!
And he was right! God hadn’t told Shemaiah to say that at all; the nasty officials had! And some other so-called prophets also tried to frighten Nehemiah into stopping the work, saying:
Doom and gloom! It’s all going to end badly, very badly, for you if you don’t stop building the wall!
But Nehemiah replied: I’m going to get the wall rebuilt!
