Nehemiah 6:10-12
English Standard Version
10 Now when I went into the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah, son of Mehetabel, who was (A)confined to his home, he said, “Let us meet together in the house of God, within the temple. Let us close the doors of the temple, for they are coming to kill you. They are coming to kill you by night.” 11 But I said, “Should such a man as I run away? And what man such as I could go into the temple and live?[a] I will not go in.” 12 And I understood and saw that God had not sent him, (B)but he had pronounced the prophecy against me because Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.
