SEV Biblia, Chapter 6:4
Cuatro veces me enviaron mensajes sobre el mismo asunto por cuatro veces, y yo les respondí de la misma manera.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 4. Yet they sent unto me four times after this sort , etc.] Being very desirous of getting him into their hands, and therefore were very pressing and importunate: and I answered them after the same manner ; every time as before, he being as much bent on finishing the work as they were to divert him from it.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-9 - Let those who are tempted to idle merry meetings by vain companions thus answer the temptation, We have work to do, and must not neglec it. We must never suffer ourselves to be overcome, by repeated urgency to do anything sinful or imprudent; but when attacked with the sam temptation, must resist it with the same reason and resolution. It is common for that which is desired only by the malicious, to be falsel represented by them as desired by the many. But Nehemiah knew at what they aimed, he not only denied that such things were true, but tha they were reported; he was better known than to be thus suspected. We must never omit any known duty for fear it should be misconstrued; but while we keep a good conscience, let us trust God with our good name God's people, though loaded with reproach, are not really fallen so lo in reputation as some would have them thought to be. Nehemiah lifted u his heart to Heaven in a short prayer. When, in our Christian work an warfare, we enter upon any service or conflict, this is a good prayer I have such a duty to do, such a temptation to grapple with; now therefore, Of God, strengthen my hands. Every temptation to draw us from duty, should quicken us the more to duty.
