Nehemiah 6:10-13

WEB · Bible Passage

Bible Text

[10] I went to the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah the son of Mehetabel, who was shut up; and he said, Let us meet together in the house of God, within the temple, and let us shut the doors of the temple: for they will come to kill you; yes, in the night will they come to kill you. [11] I said, Should such a man as I flee? and who is there that, being such as I, would go into the temple to save his life? I will not go in. [12] I discerned, and, behold, 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.
