# But the king

"So the king"
|
||
|
|
|

|
|
# Why is your face so sad
|
||
|
|
|

|
Here Nehemiah is referred to by his face because the face shows one's emotions. AT: "Why are you so sad" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-synecdoche]])
|

|
|
|

|
|
# This must be sadness of heart
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This speaks of Nehemiah being sad as if his heart were sad, since the heart is often considered the center of emotions. AT: "You must be very sad" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-synecdoche]])
|

|

|
|
# Then I became very much afraid
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
As Nehemiah prepares to answer, he is afraid because he does not know how the king will respond.
