Nehemiah 4:7-15

71Now whenH3512 SanballatH5571, TobiahH2900, the ArabsH6163, the AmmonitesH5984, and the AshdoditesH796 heardH8085 that the 2repairH724 of the wallsH2346 of JerusalemH3389 wentH5927 3on, and that the breachesH6555 beganH2490 to beH5640 closedH5640, they wereH2734 veryH3966 angryH2734. 8So allH3605 of them 4conspiredH7194 togetherH3164 to comeH935 to fightH3898 against JerusalemH3389 and to causeH6213 confusionH8442 in it. 9But we prayedH6419 to our GodH430, and becauseH5921 of them we 5setH5975 up a guardH4929 againstH5921 them dayH3119 and nightH3915.

10And so 6in JudahH3063 it was saidH559: “The strengthH3581 of the burdenH5449 bearersH5449 is failingH3782, Yet there is muchH7235 rubbleH6083; And we ourselvesH587 areH3201 unableH3808H3201 To rebuildH1129 the wallH2346.” 11And our enemiesH6862 saidH559, “They will not knowH3045 or seeH7200 untilH5704H834 we comeH935 amongH413H8432 them, killH2026 them, and putH7673 aH7673 stopH7673 toH7673 the workH4399.” 12WhenH3512 the JewsH3064 who livedH3427 nearH681 them cameH935 and toldH559 us tenH6235 timesH6471, “7They will come up againstH5921 us from everyH3605 placeH4725 whereH834 you may turnH7725,” 13then I stationedH5975 men in the lowestH8482 partsH8482 of the spaceH4725 behindH310 the wallH2346, the exposedH6706 placesH6706, and I 8stationedH5975 the peopleH5971 in familiesH4940 with their swordsH2719, spearsH7420, and bowsH7198. 14When I sawH7200 their fear, I stoodH6965 and saidH559 to the noblesH2715, the officialsH5461, and the restH3499 of the peopleH5971: “9Do not beH3372 afraidH3372 of them; rememberH2142 the LordH136 who is greatH1419 and awesomeH3372, and 10fightH3898 for your brothersH251, your sonsH1121, your daughtersH1323, your wivesH802, and your housesH1004.”

15Now whenH3512 our enemiesH340 heardH8085 that it was knownH3045 to us, and that 11GodH430 had frustratedH6565 their planH6098, then allH3605 of us returnedH7725 to the wallH2346, eachH376 oneH376 to his workH4399.
