ગુજરાતીનહેમ્યા ૬:૧૧
મેં જવાબ આપ્યો, “શું મારા જેવા માણસે નાસી જવું જોઈએ? અને પોતાનો જીવ બચાવવા માટે કોણ ભક્તિસ્થાનમાં ભરાઈ જાય? હું અંદર નહિ જાઉં.”
हिन्दीनहेम्याह ६:११
परन्तु मैंने कहा, “क्या मुझ जैसा मनुष्य भागे? और मुझ जैसा कौन है जो अपना प्राण बचाने को मन्दिर में घुसे ? मैं नहीं जाने का।”

In context

9For they all would have made us afraid, saying, “Their hands will be weakened from the work, that it not be done.” But now, strengthen my hands.

10I went to the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah the son of Mehetabel, who was shut in at his home; and he said, “Let us meet together in God’s house, within the temple, and let’s shut the doors of the temple; for they will come to kill you. Yes, in the night they will come to kill you.”

11I 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.”

12I discerned, and behold, God had not sent him, but he pronounced this prophecy against me. Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.

13He was 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.
