2Sanballat and Geshem sent me this message: “Come, let us meet together in one of the villages Or in Kephirim on the plain of Ono.” But they were scheming to harm me; 3so I sent messengers to them with this reply: “I am carrying on a great project and cannot go down. Why should the work stop while I leave it and go down to you?”
4Four times they sent me the same message, and each time I gave them the same answer.
