Nehemiah 13
summarised in 140 characters or less
I cleared Tobiah out of the temple. I confronted those who profaned the Sabbath and who married foreign women. Remember me, O God.

well done good and faithful servant.
V 8 & 9 remind me of Jesus clearing the temple in Matthew 21 V 12 Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money-changers and the benches of those selling doves. 13 ‘It is written,’ he said to them, ‘“My house will be called a house of prayer,” but you are making it “a den of robbers.”
