Nehemiah 6:11-13

American Standard Version

¹¹ And I said, Should such a man as I flee? and who is there, that, being such as I, ^[a]would go into the temple to save his life? I will not go in. ¹² And I discerned, and, lo, God had not sent him; but he pronounced this prophecy against me: and Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him. ¹³ For this cause was he hired, that I should be afraid, and do so, and sin, and that they might have matter for an evil report, that they might reproach me.
