Nehemiah 6:13

For this purpose he was hired , that I should be afraid and act in this way and sin , and so they could give me a bad name in order to taunt me.

He had been hired to intimidate me so that I would commit a sin by doing this, and then they would give me a bad name to discredit me.

Therefore was he hired, that I should be afraid, and do so, and sin, and that they might have matter for an evil report, that they might reproach me.
