Nehemiah 6:6-8

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁶ It is reported amongst the Gentiles, and Gossem hath said it, that thou and the Jews think to rebel, and therefore thou buildest the wall, and hast a mind to set thyself king over them: for which end

⁷ Thou hast also set up prophets, to preach of thee at Jerusalem, saying: There is a king in Judea. The king will hear of these things: therefore come now, that we may take counsel together.

⁸ And I sent to them, saying: There is no such thing done as thou sayest: but thou feignest these things out of thy own heart.
