Verse 9 is found in chapter 6 of Nehemiah. The adversaries send an open letter accusing Nehemiah of wanting to proclaim himself king and rebel against Persia. The accusation attempts to turn an authorized reconstruction into a political threat. Nehemiah rejects the rumor and continues working without allowing public pressure to alter the mission’s purpose.

Denn sie alle wollen uns furchtsam machen und gedachten: Sie sollen die Hand abtun vom Geschäft, daß es nicht fertig werde, aber nun stärke meine Hände!
Porque todos ellos nos ponían miedo, diciendo: Debilitaranse las manos de ellos en la obra, y no será hecha. Esfuerza pues mis manos, oh Dios.
Todos ellos trataban de atemorizarnos, diciendo: «Sus manos se debilitarán en la obra y no será realizada». «Ahora, fortalece mis manos».
Tous ces gens voulaient nous effrayer, et ils se disaient: Ils perdront courage, et l'oeuvre ne se fera pas. Maintenant, ô Dieu, fortifie-moi!
Perciocchè essi tutti ci spaventavano, dicendo: Le lor mani si rallenteranno, e lasceranno l’opera, sì che non si farà. Ora dunque, o Dio, fortifica le mie mani
Porque todos eles procuravam atemorizar-nos, dizendo: As suas mãos largarão a obra, e não se efetuará. Agora, pois, ó Deus, fortalece as minhas mãos.
他們全都要使我們懼怕,說:「他們的手必軟弱,不能工作,以致不能完工。」現在,求你堅固我的手。
