Nehemiah 6:6-8 ▼

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

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

8 Then I sent a message to him saying, “Nothing like these things that you are saying has been done, but you are inventing them in your own mind.”
