Nehemiah 6:13

Attempts To Intimidate Nehemiah

¹² And I discern, and lo, God hath not sent him, for in the prophecy he hath spoken unto me both Tobiah and Sanballat hired him, ¹³ so that he is an hireling, that I may fear and do so, and I had sinned, and it had been to them for an evil name that they may reproach me. ¹⁴ Be mindful, O my God, of Tobiah, and of Sanballat, according to these his works, and also, of Noadiah the prophetess, and of the rest of the prophets who have been making me afraid.
