Nehemiah 6:13

Attempts To Intimidate Nehemiah

Nevertheless, Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him for money. ¹³ Therefore took he the money, that through fear I should do so, and sin: that they might have an evil report of me, to blaspheme me. ¹⁴ My God, think thou upon Tobiah and Sanballat according unto these their works, and of the Prophetess Noadiah and of the other Prophets, that would have put me in fear.
