Then said I unto them, You 2f see the distress that we [are] in, how Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] [lies] waste, and the gates thereof are burned with fire: come, and let us build up the wall of Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], that we be no more a reproach (disgrace; shame) .
Then I told them of the hand of my God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] which was good upon me; as also the king’s words that he had spoken unto me. And they said, Let us rise up and build. So they strengthened their hands for [this] good [work].
