Nehemiah 6:11-13

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

¹¹ But I said, ‘Should a man like me run away? How can someone like me enter the temple and live?^(A) I will not go.’ ¹² I realised that God had not sent him, because of the prophecy he spoke against me. Tobiah and Sanballat^(B) had hired him. ¹³ He was hired, so that I would be intimidated,^(C) do as he suggested, sin, and get a bad reputation, in order that they could discredit me.
