John Gill, on Neh 6:8
John Gill · 1697–1771
Neh 6:8 · Douay-Rheims
“And I sent to them, saying: There is no such thing done as thou sayest: but thou feignest these things out of thy own heart.”
On this verse:
“Then I sent unto him,.... Whether a letter, or a messenger, is not said: saying there are no such things done as thou sayest; that there was any scheme formed to rebel, and make him king, or that prophets were appointed to declare him such: but thou feignest them out of thine own heart; in short, that they were no other than lies of his own inventing.”
