Nehemiah 6:11-13
New English Translation

11 But I replied, “Should a man like me run away? Would someone like me flee to the temple in order to save his life?[a] I will not go!” 12 I recognized the fact that God had not sent him, for he had spoken the prophecy against me as a hired agent of Tobiah and Sanballat.[b] 13 He had been hired to scare me so that I would do this and thereby sin. They would thus bring reproach on me and I[c] would be discredited.[d]
