Nehemiah 6:12

And, lo, I perceived that God had not sent him; but that he pronounced this prophecy against me: for Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.

KJV

Et intellexi quod Deus non misisset eum, sed quasi vaticinans locutus esset ad me, et Tobias et Sanaballat conduxissent eum.

Vulgate

καὶ ἐπέγνων, καὶ ἰδοὺ ὁ θεὸς οὐκ ἀπέστειλεν αὐτόν, ὅτι ἡ προφητεία λόγος κατ’ ἐμοῦ· καὶ Τωβιὰ καὶ Σαναβαλλὰτ ἐμισθώσαντο

LXX

And I discerned, and, lo, God had not sent him; but he pronounced this prophecy against me: and Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.
