Nehemiah 4:3-7
3Then TobiahH2900 the AmmoniteH5984, who was beside himH681, saidH559, “IfH518 evenH1571 a foxH7776 were to climb up onH5927 whatH834 theyH1992 are buildingH1129, it would break downH6555 their wallH2346 of stonesH68!”
4Hear usH8085, O GodH430, forH3588 we areH1961 despisedH939. TurnH7725 their scornH2781 back uponH413 their own headsH7218, and let them be takenH5414 as plunderH961 to a landH776 of captivityH7633. 5Do notH408 cover upH3680H5921 their iniquityH5771 or let their sinH2403 be blotted outH4229 from Your sightH6440H408, forH3588 they have provokedH3707H5048 the buildersH1129.1
6So we rebuiltH1129 the wallH2346 until allH3605 of it was joined togetherH7194 up toH5704 half itsH2677 height, for the peopleH5971 hadH1961 a mindH3820 to workH6213.
WhenH834 SanballatH5571 and TobiahH2900, together with the ArabsH6163, AmmonitesH5984, and AshdoditesH796, heardH8085 thatH3588 the repairH724 to the wallsH2346 of JerusalemH3389 was progressingH5927 and thatH3588H2490 the gapsH6555 were being closedH5640, they were furiousH2734,
