Nehemiah 4:3-7

3Now Tobiah the Ammonite was beside him, and he said, “Even what they are building—if a fox should get up on it, he would break down their stone wall.”

4[And Nehemiah prayed] Hear, O our God, how we are despised! Return their taunts on their own heads. Give them up as prey in a land of captivity.

5Do not forgive their wrongdoing and do not let their sin be wiped out before You, for they have offended the builders [and provoked You].

6So we built the wall and the entire wall was joined together to half its height, for the people had a heart to work.

7But when Sanballat, Tobiah, the Arabs, the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites heard that the repair of the walls of Jerusalem went on, and that the breaches were being closed, they were very angry.
