14 And I went on to the fountain-gate, and to the king’s pool; and there was no place for the beast under me to pass.15 And I went up in the night through the valley, and viewed the wall, and turned back, and entered by the valley-gate and returned.16 And the rulers did not know whither I went or what I did, for I had not as yet told it to the Jews, nor to the priests, nor to the nobles, nor to the rulers, nor to the rest that did the work.17 And I said to them, Ye see the distress that we are in, that Jerusalem lies waste, and its gates are burned with fire. Come, and let us build up the wall of Jerusalem, that we be no more a reproach.18 And I told them of the hand of my God which had been good upon me; as also of the king’s words which he had said unto me. And they said, Let us rise up and build. And they strengthened their hands for the good [work].”
