Nehemiah 6:11-13

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹¹ I said, “Should a man like me flee? Should someone like me go to the temple to save my life? I won’t go!” ¹² I realized that God had not sent him, but he had spoken the prophecy against me because Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him. ¹³ For this purpose he was hired—to make me afraid so that I would do this and sin. Then they would have given me a bad reputation, so that they could discredit me.
