Nehemiah 6:10-12

Tree of Life Version

¹⁰ Then I went to the house of Shemaiah, son of Delaiah, son of Mehetabel. He was confined to his home. He said, “Let us meet in the House of God, within the Temple. Let us shut the doors of the Temple, for they are coming to kill you. Indeed, they will come to kill you at night.”

¹¹ But I said, “Should a man like me flee? Who in my position could go into the Temple and live? I will not go in.”

¹² I recognized that God had not really sent him, for he had pronounced the prophecy against me because Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.
