Nehemiah (Néhémie) 2:18 (ESV)
18And I told them of the hand of my God that had been upon me for good, and also of the words that the king had spoken to me. And they said, “Let us rise up and build.” So they strengthened their hands for the good work.
These words convey a sense of enthusiasm for the concept on the part of the leadership, notwithstanding the enormity of the work to which they commit themselves.
