Nehemiah 4:3-7
3Now TobiahH2900 the AmmoniteH5984 was nearH681 him, and he saidH559, “EvenH1571 whatH834 they are buildingH1129--1ifH518 a foxH7776 were to 2jumpH5927 on it, it would breakH6555 their stoneH68 wallH2346 downH6555!”
43HearH8085, O our GodH430, howH3588 we are an object of contemptH939! 4ReturnH7725 their tauntingH2781 on their own headsH7218, and turnH5414 them into plunderH961 in a landH776 of captivityH7633. 5Do not 56forgiveH3680 their guiltH5771 and do not let their sinH2403 be wipedH4229 outH4229 beforeH4480H6440 You, for they have 7demoralizedH3707H5048 the buildersH1129.
6So we builtH1129 the wallH2346, and the entireH3605 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 11on, and that the breachesH6555 beganH2490 to beH5640 closedH5640, they wereH2734 veryH3966 angryH2734.
