Nehemiah 6:6-8

6In it was written, “It is reported among the nations, and 1Gashmu says, that 2you and the Jews are planning to rebel; therefore you are rebuilding the wall. And you are to be their king, according to these reports.

7You have also appointed prophets to proclaim in Jerusalem concerning 3you, ‘A king is in Judah!’ And now it will be reported to the king according to these reports. So come now, let us take counsel together.”

8Then I sent a message to him saying, “Such things as you are saying have not been done, but you are 4inventing them 5in your own mind.”
