Nehemiah 6:12 in Context — Nehemiah 6
10 Je me rendis chez Schemaeja, fils de Delaja, fils de Mehétabeel. Il s’était enfermé, et il dit: Allons ensemble dans la maison de Dieu, au milieu du temple, et fermons les portes du temple; car ils viennent pour te tuer, et c’est pendant la nuit qu’ils viendront pour te tuer.
11 Je répondis: Un homme comme moi prendre la fuite! Et quel homme tel que moi pourrait entrer dans le temple et vivre? Je n’entrerai point.
12 Et je reconnus que ce n’était pas Dieu qui l’envoyait. Mais il prophétisa ainsi sur moi parce que Sanballat et Tobija lui avaient donné de l’argent.
13 En le gagnant ainsi, ils espéraient que j’aurais peur, et que je suivrais ses avis et commettrais un péché; et ils auraient profité de cette atteinte à ma réputation pour me couvrir d’opprobre.
14 Souviens-toi, ô mon Dieu, de Tobija et de Sanballat, et de leurs œuvres! Souviens-toi aussi de Noadia, la prophétesse, et des autres prophètes qui cherchaient à m’effrayer!
