11. I said, “Should a man like me flee? Who is there that, being such as I, would go into the temple to save his life? I will not go in.”
12. I discerned, and behold, God had not sent him; but he pronounced this prophecy against me. Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.
13. He hired so that I would be afraid, do so, and sin, and that they might have material for an evil report, that they might reproach me.
