Nehemiah 4:3-7
3Now TobiahH2900 the AmmoniteH5984 was nearH681 him and he saidH559, “EvenH1571 whatH834 they are buildingH1129--1ifH518 a foxH7776 should 2jumpH5927 on it, he would breakH6555 their stoneH68 wallH2346 downH6555!”
43HearH8085, O our GodH430, howH3588 we are despisedH939! 4ReturnH7725 their reproachH2781 on their own headsH7218 and giveH5414 them up for plunderH961 in a landH776 of captivityH7633. 5Do not 56forgiveH3680 their iniquityH5771 and let not their sinH2403 be blottedH4229 out beforeH4480H6440 You, for they have 7demoralizedH3707H5048 the buildersH1129.
6So we builtH1129 the wallH2346 and the wholeH3605 wallH2346 was joinedH7194 togetherH7194 to halfH2677 its height, for the peopleH5971 hadH1961 a 8mindH3820 to workH6213.
79Now whenH3512 SanballatH5571, TobiahH2900, the ArabsH6163, the AmmonitesH5984 and the AshdoditesH796 heardH8085 that the 10repairH724 of the wallsH2346 of JerusalemH3389 wentH5927 on, and that the breachesH6555 beganH2490 to be closedH5640, they were veryH3966 angryH2734.
