Nehemiah 6:3-5

EasyEnglish Bible

³ So I sent this message back to them: ‘I am too busy to come and meet you. The work here is too important. I cannot stop the work here to come and meet you.’

⁴ They sent me the same message four times. Each time, I refused. ⁵ Then Sanballat sent his officer to me with a fifth message. He carried a letter that was open for anyone to read.
