કે હું બી જાઉં અને તેણે જે કહ્યું હતું તે કરીને હું પાપ કરું, જેથી મારી નિંદા તથા અપકીર્તિ કરવાનું નિમિત્ત તેઓને મળે.
हिन्दीनहेम्याह ६:१३

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.

14“Remember, my God, Tobiah and Sanballat according to these their works, and also the prophetess Noadiah and the rest of the prophets that would have put me in fear.”

15So the wall was finished in the twenty-fifth day of Elul, in fifty-two days.
