Nehemiah 6:11-13

Common English Bible

¹¹ But I replied, “Should someone like me run away? Who like me would go into the temple to save his life? I won’t go in!” ¹² Then I realized that God hadn’t sent him at all but that he spoke this prophecy against me because Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him. ¹³ He was hired to frighten me and to make me sin by acting in this way. Then they could give me a bad name and discredit me.
