Afterward I
came unto the
house of
Shemaiah the
son of
Delaiah the
son of
Mehetabeel, who was shut
up; and he
said, Let us meet
together in the
house of
God, within the
temple, and let us
shut the
doors of the
temple: for they will
come to
slay thee; yea, in the
night will they
come to
slay thee.

And I
said, Should
such a
man as I
flee? and who is there, that, being as I am, would
go into the
temple to save his
life? I will not go
in.

And, lo, I
perceived that
God had not
sent him; but that he
pronounced this
prophecy against me: for
Tobiah and
Sanballat had
hired him.

Therefore was he
hired, that I should be
afraid, and do
so, and
sin, and that they might have matter for an
evil report, that they might
reproach me.

My
God, think thou upon
Tobiah and
Sanballat according to these their
works, and on the
prophetess Noadiah, and the
rest of the
prophets, that would have put me in
fear.
