Nehemiah 6:10-12

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁰ Then I came to the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah, the son of Mehetabel. (He was restricted.) He said, “Let’s meet at the house of God in the middle of the temple. Let’s close the doors of the temple, since they are coming to kill you—at night they are coming to kill you.”

¹¹ I said, “Should a man like me flee? Should someone like me go to the temple to save my life? I won’t go!” ¹² I realized that God had not sent him, but he had spoken the prophecy against me because Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.
