Nehemiah 4:1-12

1But it came to pass, that when SanballatH5571 heardH8085 that we buildedH1129 the wallH2346, he was wrothH2734, and took greatH7235 indignationH3707, and mockedH3932 the JewsH3064. 2And he spakeH559 beforeH6440 his brethrenH251 and the armyH2428 of SamariaH8111, and saidH559, What doH6213 these feebleH537 JewsH3064? will they fortifyH5800 themselves? will they sacrificeH2076? will they make an endH3615 in a dayH3117? will they reviveH2421 the stonesH68 out of the heapsH6194 of the rubbishH6083 which are burnedH8313?1 3Now TobiahH2900 the AmmoniteH5984 was by himH681, and he saidH559, Even that which they buildH1129, if a foxH7776 go upH5927, he shall even break downH6555 their stoneH68 wallH2346. 4HearH8085, O our GodH430; for we are despisedH939: and turnH7725 their reproachH2781 upon their own headH7218, and giveH5414 them for a preyH961 in the landH776 of captivityH7633:2 5And coverH3680 not their iniquityH5771, and let not their sinH2403 be blotted outH4229 from beforeH6440 thee: for they have provoked thee to angerH3707 before the buildersH1129. 6So builtH1129 we the wallH2346; and all the wallH2346 was joined togetherH7194 unto the halfH2677 thereof: for the peopleH5971 had a mindH3820 to workH6213.

7But it came to pass, that when SanballatH5571, and TobiahH2900, and the ArabiansH6163, and the AmmonitesH5984, and the AshdoditesH796, heardH8085 that the wallsH2346 of JerusalemH3389 were made upH5927H724, and that the breachesH6555 beganH2490 to be stoppedH5640, then they were veryH3966 wrothH2734,3 8And conspiredH7194 all of them togetherH3162 to comeH935 and to fightH3898 against JerusalemH3389, and to hinderH8442H6213 it.4 9Nevertheless we made our prayerH6419 unto our GodH430, and setH5975 a watchH4929 against them dayH3119 and nightH3915, becauseH6440 of them. 10And JudahH3063 saidH559, The strengthH3581 of the bearers of burdensH5449 is decayedH3782, and there is muchH7235 rubbishH6083; so that we are not ableH3201 to buildH1129 the wallH2346. 11And our adversariesH6862 saidH559, They shall not knowH3045, neither seeH7200, till we comeH935 in the midstH8432 amongH8432 them, and slayH2026 them, and cause the workH4399 to ceaseH7673. 12And it came to pass, that when the JewsH3064 which dweltH3427 by themH681 cameH935, they saidH559 unto us tenH6235 timesH6471, From all placesH4725 whence ye shall returnH7725 unto us they will be upon you.5
