Nehemiah 6:10-12

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁰ When I entered the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah, son of Mehetabel, ^(A)who was ^[a]confined at home, he said, “Let us meet together in the house of God, within the temple, and let us close the doors of the temple, for they are coming to kill you, and they are coming to kill you at night.” ¹¹ But I said, “^(B)Should a man like me flee? And could one such as I go into the temple ^[b]to save his life? I will not go in.” ¹² Then I perceived ^[c]that surely God had not sent him, but he uttered his prophecy against me because Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.
