Nehemiah 6:10-12
Christian Standard Bible
Attempts to Intimidate Nehemiah

They’re coming to kill you tonight![a]
11 But I said, “Should a man like me run away? How can someone like me enter the temple and live?(A) I will not go.” 12 I realized that God had not sent him, because of the prophecy he spoke against me. Tobiah and Sanballat(B) had hired him.
