Nehemiah 6:11-13

Lexham English Bible

¹¹ But I said, “Should a man like me run away? And would a man like me go into the temple so that he can save his life? I will not go in!” ¹² Then I look and realized God had not sent him; rather, he had spoken the prophecy against me because Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him. ¹³ For this reason he was hired: to frighten me so that I would act and sin, so that they would have a bad report so they could taunt me.
