Nehemiah 6:10-12

Jubilee Bible 2000

¹⁰ ¶ Afterward I came in secret unto the house of Shemaiah, the son of Delaiah, the son of Mehetabeel, 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 are coming to slay thee; yea, tonight they will come to slay thee.

¹¹ Then I said, Should such a man as I flee? And who is there as I who could go into the temple and live? I will not go in.

¹² And I perceived that God had not sent him, but that he pronounced this prophecy against me, for Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.
