11. And I said: Should such a man as I Bee? and who is there that being as I am, would go into the temple, to save his life? I will not go in.
12. And I understood that God had not sent him, but that he had spoken to me as if he had been prophesying, and Tobias, and Sanaballat had hired him.
13. For he had taken money, that I being afraid should do this thing, and sin, and they might have some evil to upbraid me withal.
