וַאֲנִ֞י בָּ֠אתִי בֵּ֣ית שְׁמַעְיָ֤ה בֶן דְּלָיָה֙ בֶּן מְהֵיטַבְאֵ֔ל וְה֖וּא עָצ֑וּר וַיֹּ֣אמֶר נִוָּעֵ֡ד אֶל בֵּ֣ית הָאֱלֹהִ֡ים אֶל תּ֣וֹךְ הַהֵיכָ֡ל וְנִסְגְּרָ֡ה דַּלְת֣וֹת הַהֵיכָ֡ל כִּ֡י בָּאִ֡ים לַהַרְגֶ֡ךָ וּבַלַּ֡יְלָה בָּאִ֡ים לַהַרְגֶֽךָ׃

King James Version (KJV)

Afterward I came unto the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah the son of Mehetabeel, who was shut up; and he said, Let us meet together in the house of God, within the temple, and let us shut the doors of the temple: for they will come to slay thee; yea, in the night will they come to slay thee.

Modern English

Now when I went into the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah, son of Mehetabel, who was confined to his home, he said: Let us meet together in the house of God, within the temple. Let us close the doors of the temple, for they are coming to kill you. They are coming to kill you by night.
