D. THE BEGINNING OF THE WORK

Then said I unto them, "Ye see the evil case 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." And I told them of the hand of my God which was good upon me;

as also of 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 the good work.
