Nehemiah 6:12 in Context — Nehemiah 6
10 E quando eu vim à casa de Semaías filho de Delaías, filho de Meetabel (que estava encerrado), ele me disse: Vamos juntos à casa de Deus dentro do templo, e cerremos as portas do templo, porque virão para te matar; sim, de noite virão para te matar.
11 Porém eu disse: Um homem como eu fugiria? E poderia alguém como eu entrar no templo para preservar sua vida? De maneira nenhuma entrarei.
12 E percebi, e vi que Deus não tinha o enviado, mas sim que ele falou aquela profecia contra mim, porque Tobias e Sambalate haviam lhe subornado.
13 Para isto ele foi subornado, para me atemorizar, a fim de que assim eu fizesse, e pecasse; para que tivessem alguma coisa para falarem mal de mim.
14 Lembra-te, meu Deus, de Tobias e de Sambalate, conforme estas suas obras, e também da profetiza Noadia, e dos outros profetas que procuravam me atemorizar.
