Nehemiah 6:11

But I replied, “Should a man like me run away? Would someone like me flee to the temple in order to save his life? ¹  I will not go!”

But I said, "Should a man like me run away? Or should one like me go into the temple to save his life? I will not go!"

But I said, "Should a man like me flee? And could one such as I go into the temple to save his life? I will not go in."

But I replied, "Should someone in my position run away from danger? Should someone in my position enter the Temple to save his life? No, I won’t do it!"

I said, "Why would a man like me run for cover? And why would a man like me use The Temple as a hideout? I won't do it."

And I said, Am I the sort of man to go in flight? what man, in my position, would go into the Temple to keep himself safe? I will not go in.

But I said, "Should a man like me run away? Would a man like me go into the temple to save his life? I will not go in!"

And I said, "Should such a man as I flee? And who is there such as I who would go into the temple to save his life? I will not go in!"

But I replied, “Should a man like me run away? Would someone like me flee to the temple in order to save his life? ¹  I will not go!”
