Nehemiah 6:6-8 ▼

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

7 You have also set up prophets to call out in Jerusalem concerning you, ‘A king is in Judah!’ So now it will be heard by the king according to these words. So now, come, let us take counsel together.”

8 Then I sent a message to him, saying, “Such words as you are saying have not been done, but you are devising them in your own heart.”
