Nehemiah 6:11-14 Good News Bible Catholic Edition (GNBDK)

11. I answered, “I'm not the kind of person that runs and hides. Do you think I would try to save my life by hiding in the Temple? I won't do it.”

12. When I thought it over, I realized that God had not spoken to Shemaiah, but that Tobiah and Sanballat had bribed him to give me this warning.

13. They hired him to frighten me into sinning, so that they could ruin my reputation and humiliate me.

14. I prayed, “God, remember what Tobiah and Sanballat have done and punish them. Remember that woman Noadiah and all the other prophets who tried to frighten me.”
