Nehemiah 6:8
8
I sent him this reply: “Nothing like what you are saying is happening; you are just making it up out of your head.”
Read Nehemiah 6:8 Using Other Translations
Then I sent unto him, saying, There are no such things done as thou sayest, but thou feignest them out of thine own heart.
Then I sent to him, saying, "No such things as you say have been done, for you are inventing them out of your own mind."
I replied, “There is no truth in any part of your story. You are making up the whole thing.”

John Gill's Exposition of the Bible
Nehemiah 6:8
Then I sent unto him
Whether a letter, or a messenger, is not said:
saying there are no such things done as thou
sayest;
that there was any scheme formed to rebel, and make him king, or
that prophets were appointed to declare him such:
but thou feignest them out of thine own heart;
in short, that they were no other than lies of his own inventing.
