Nehemiah 2:17-18 King James Version (KJV)
17 Then said I unto them, Ye see the distress that we are in, how Jerusalem lieth waste, and the gates thereof are burned with fire: come, and let us build up the wall of Jerusalem, that we be no more a reproach.
18 Then I told them of the hand of my God which was good upon me; as also the king's words that he had spoken unto me. And they said, Let us rise up and build. So they strengthened their hands for this good work.
Nehemiah 2:17-18 Young's Literal Translation (YLT)
17 and I say unto them, `Ye are seeing the evil that we are in, in that Jerusalem [is] waste, and its gates have been burnt with fire; come and we build the wall of Jerusalem, and we are not any more a reproach.'
18 And I declare to them the hand of my God that is good upon me, and also the words of the king that he said to me, and they say, `Let us rise, and we have built;' and they strengthen their hands for good.
These are my thoughts, please share yours.
17 Jerusalem was burned this time by Babylon the next time that it happened it was done by Rome and the temple was never rebuilt. They are trying to encourage others to help that way the wall was built sometimes we have to encourage others to help because we can’t do it all ourselves.
18 God being in favor of something will encourage people of God to help, some already saw this and helped as when we are called to do something there will be those there already there to help us. We also have to come to the place sometimes to where we ask for help instead of trying to do it on our own.
