Nehemiah 13:9-11

New Century Version

⁹ I ordered the rooms to be purified, and I brought back the utensils for God’s Temple, the grain offerings, and the incense.

¹⁰ Then I found out the people were not giving the Levites their shares. So the Levites and singers who served had gone back to their own farms. ¹¹ I argued with the officers, saying, “Why haven’t you taken care of the Temple?” Then I gathered the Levites and singers and put them back at their places.
