17 Then I said to them, |You see the problem that we have: Jerusalem is desolate and its gates are burned. Come on! Let's rebuild the wall of Jerusalem so that this reproach will not continue.| 18 Then I related to them how the good hand of my God was on me and what the king had said to me. Then they replied, |Let's begin rebuilding right away!| So they readied themselves for this good project. Nehemiah 2:17-18, New English Translation. Copyright © 1996-2017 by Biblical Studies Press.
