Nehemiah 4:1-2

1Sanballat heard that we were building the wall. He was very angry and upset. He laughed at the Jews.

2His officers and Samaria's army were with him. He said to them, ‘Those Jews have great ideas, but they are weak. How will they ever repair the wall? Will they give sacrifices to their God? Will that help them to repair the wall in one day? They will never build anything from this heap of stones that fire has destroyed!’
