Shemaiah the son of Delaiah says to meet in God’s house, within the temple

들라야의 아들 스마야가 하나님의 전 외소 안에 있자고 말함

Nehemiah 6:10–14: the speaker (“I”) says, “I went to the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah the son of Mehetabel, who was shut in at his home.” Shemaiah (WEB “he”) says, “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.” The speaker says, “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.” The text goes on, “I discerned, and behold, God had not sent him, but he pronounced this prophecy against me. Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him. He 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.” Then the speaker says, “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.” The Korean Revised Version gives Shemaiah’s words in another order, opening with 저희가 너를 죽이러 올터이니 (they will come to kill you); reads at 6:13 저희가 뇌물을 준 까닭은 (the reason they gave the bribe) where WEB reads “He was hired so that”; and at 6:14 asks that 그 남은 선지자들 무릇 나를 두렵게 하고자 한 자의 소위 (the deeds of the rest of the prophets, all who would have made me afraid) be remembered.
