“And when Sanballat the Horonite and Tobiah the Ammonite official heard about it, it was very displeasing to them that someone had come to seek the welfare of the sons of Israel.” Neh. 2:10

Nehemiah Faced Problems on the Job The problem of scorn, ridicule, and mocking

“And in all this, they are surprised that you do not run with them into the same excess of dissipation, and they malign you…but if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not feel ashamed, but in that name let him glorify God.” 1 Pet. 4:4, 16

“Be angry, and yet do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, and do not give the devil an opportunity.” Eph. 4:26-27

You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven… 46 For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? 47 And if you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? 48 You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect. Matthew 5:43-48

Romans 8:31-37 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things? 33 Who shall bring any charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies. 34 Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died… 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? …37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

Those who are foolish?

“…therefore do not associate with a gossip (slanderer, ESV).” Pro. 20:19b Those who slander others? “Do not associate with a man given to anger; or go with a hot-tempered man, lest you learn his ways, and find a snare for yourself.” Pro. 22:24-25 “Do not associate with a man given to anger; or go with a hot-tempered man, lest you learn his ways, and find a snare for yourself.” Pro. 22:24-25 Those who are angry?

“And now, Lord, take note of their threats, and grant that Thy bond-servants may speak Thy word with all confidence…. Now Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priests.” Acts 4:29; 9:1
