Nehemiah 6:6-8

Modern English Version

⁶ In it was written,

“It is reported among the nations, and Geshem confirms it, that you and the Jews are planning to rebel; consequently you are rebuilding the wall. According to these words, you are their king. ⁷ You have also appointed prophets to preach on your behalf in Jerusalem, saying, ‘There is a king in Judah!’ According to these words, it will now be reported to the king. So come now and let us consult together.”

⁸ I sent him this response, saying, “Nothing like these reports that you are saying has occurred. From your own mind, you are inventing them.”
