Nehemiah 4:2-4

2And he spokeH559 in the presenceH6440 of his brothersH251 and 1the 2wealthyH2428 peopleH2428 of SamariaH8111 and saidH559, “WhatH4100 are these feebleH537 JewsH3064 doingH6213? Are they going to restoreH5800 the temple for themselves? Can they offerH2076 sacrificesH2076? Can they finishH3615 it in a dayH3117? Can they reviveH2421 the stonesH68 from the 3heapsH6194 of rubbleH6083, even the burnedH8313 ones?” 3Now TobiahH2900 the AmmoniteH5984 was nearH681 him, and he saidH559, “EvenH1571 whatH834 they are buildingH1129--4ifH518 a foxH7776 were to 5jumpH5927 on it, it would breakH6555 their stoneH68 wallH2346 downH6555!”

46HearH8085, O our GodH430, howH3588 we are an object of contemptH939! 7ReturnH7725 their tauntingH2781 on their own headsH7218, and turnH5414 them into plunderH961 in a landH776 of captivityH7633.
