That is an example for us. Has somebody committed an offence against you? Has somebody committed some wrong, or slandered you, or done something offensive, and you can't do much about it? You can confront the person if you have the opportunity, but you can't do much about it. Don't spend hours and hours berating them and thinking them down. Commit it into the hands of God. That is the example here. ‘And on the prophetess Noadiah.’ We don’t know anything at all about Noadiah; this is the only place she is mentioned. But she is apparently a phony prophetess. ‘And the rest of the prophets that would have put me in fear.’ That doesn't mean all prophets in Jerusalem, but it means the rest of the prophets who turned out to be friends of Shemaiah, and in league with him, and were on the payroll of Tobiah. It is amazing, what Nehemiah had to stand up to! There were a lot of them; they were Israelites; they were Jews, and they were on the other side. They were there in Jerusalem, and yet they were prophesying so as to scare him: ‘This is going to happen is you; that's going to happen to you.’ There were not only a plurality of prophets on the payroll of the enemy, but the nobles of Judah also had these relationships with the enemy. It was non-stop.
