2:2

mukamu(TB/TL) <06440> [Why is thy.]

sedih(TB)/dukacita(TL) <07455> [sorrow.]

sangat(TB/TL) <03966> [Then I.]

Probably the king spoke as if he had some suspicion that Nehemiah harboured some bad design, and that his face indicated some conceived treachery, or remorse; and, indeed, the words rendered sad, and sorrow of heart, might be rendered evil, and wickedness of heart.
