Nehemiah 13:9-11
New English Translation
9 Then I gave instructions that the storerooms should be purified, and I brought back the equipment[a] of the temple of God, along with the grain offering and the incense.
10 I also discovered that the portions for the Levites had not been provided, and that as a result the Levites and the singers who performed this work had all gone off to their fields. 11 So I registered a complaint with the leaders, asking, “Why is the temple of God neglected?” Then I gathered them and reassigned them to their positions.[b]
