Nehemiah 6

With the wall nearly done, Sanballat and Tobiah repeatedly try to lure Nehemiah into a trap under the guise of a meeting, but he refuses, replying, “I am doing a great work and I cannot come down.” They spread false rumors of rebellion and hire a false prophet to frighten him into hiding in the temple, but Nehemiah discerns the deceit and will not sin. The wall is finished in just fifty-two days, and even the enemies perceive that the work was accomplished with the help of God.
