18 Et je leur racontai comment la bonne main de mon Dieu avait été sur moi, et quelles paroles le roi m’avait adressées. Ils dirent: Levons-nous, et bâtissons! Et ils se fortifièrent dans cette bonne résolution.
19 Sanballat, le Horonite, Tobija, le serviteur ammonite, et Guéschem, l’Arabe, en ayant été informés, se moquèrent de nous et nous méprisèrent. Ils dirent: Que faites-vous là? Vous révoltez-vous contre le roi?
20 Et je leur fis cette réponse: Le Dieu des cieux nous donnera le succès. Nous, ses serviteurs, nous nous lèverons et nous bâtirons; mais vous, vous n’avez ni part, ni droit, ni souvenir dans Jérusalem.
