TSK · Nehemiah 6:2

Joab said to Amasa,“How are you, my brother?” With his right hand Joab took hold of Amasa’s beard as if to greet him with a kiss.

After him the priests worked, men of the nearby district.

People lie to one another; they flatter and deceive.

Evil men set an ambush for the godly and try to kill them.

When he speaks graciously, do not believe him, for there are seven abominations within him.

Ishmael son of Nethaniah and the ten men who were with him stood up, pulled out their swords, and killed Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam and grandson of Shaphan. Thus Ishmael killed the man that the king of Babylon had appointed to govern the country.

The best of them is like a thorn; their godly are like a thorn bush. Woe to your watchmen; your appointed punishment is on the way. The time of their confusion is now.
