Nehemiah 6:10-13

10When I entered the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah, son of Mehetabel, 1who was confined at home, he said, “Let’s meet together in the house of God, within the temple, and let’s close the doors of the temple, for they are coming to kill you, and they are coming to kill you at night.”

11But I said, “2Should a man like me flee? And who is there like me who would go into the temple 3to save his own life? I will not go in.”

12Then I realized 4that God certainly had not sent him, but he uttered his prophecy against me because Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.

13He was hired for this reason, 5that I would become frightened and act accordingly and sin, so that they might have an evil report in order that they could taunt me.
