Nehemiah 6:3

And I sent
<07971> (8799)

messengers
<04397>

unto them, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

I [am] doing
<06213> (8802)

a great
<01419>

work
<04399>_,

so that I cannot
<03201> (8799)

come down
<03381> (8800)_:

why should the work
<04399>

cease
<07673> (8799)_,

whilst
<0834>

I leave
<07503> (8686)

it, and come down
<03381> (8804)

to you?

Nehemiah 9:30

Yet many
<07227>

years
<08141>

didst thou forbear
<04900> (8799)

them, and testifiedst
<05749> (8686)

against them by thy spirit
<07307>

in
<03027>

thy prophets
<05030>_:

yet would they not give ear
<0238> (8689)_:

therefore gavest
<05414> (8799)

thou them into the hand
<03027>

of the people
<05971>

of the lands
<0776>_.
