Nehemiah 4:7-15

7But it came to pass that, when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and the Arabians, and the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites, heard that the repairing of the wallsH2346 of Jerusalem went forward, and that the breaches began to be stoppedH5975, then they were very wroth;

8and they conspired allH1419 of them togetherH5921 to comeH6965 and fightH3898 againstH5921 Jerusalem, and to cause confusion therein.

9But weH3588 madeH3045 our prayer unto our GodH430, and setH7725 a watchH3045 againstH413 them day and night, becauseH3588 of them.

10And JudahH3063 said, The strengthH2388 of the bearers of burdens is decayed, and there is muchH3605 rubbish; soH4480 that weH3117 are notH1961 able to build the wall.

11And our adversaries said, They shall not know, neither see, till weH6213 come intoH3027 the midst of them, and slay them, and cause the workH4399 to cease.

12And it cameH376 to pass that, when the Jews whichH2719 dwelt by them cameH376, they said unto usH5921 ten times from allH376 places, Ye must return unto usH5921.

13Therefore set I in the lowest partsH6504 of the space behind the wallH2346, In the open placesH559, I evenH5921 set the peopleH5971 afterH5921 their families with their swords, their spears, and their bows.

14And I looked, and rose upH853, and saidH413 unto the nobles, and to the rulersH430, and to the rest of the peopleH834, Be not ye afraid of them: remember the Lord, whichH834 is greatH430 and terrible, and fightH3898 for your brethren, your sons and your daughters, your wives and your houses.

15And it cameH3318 to pass, when our enemies heard that it was knownH3318 unto usH6213, and God had broughtH3318 their counsel to nought, that weH587 returnedH5927 allH5704 of usH6213 to the wall, every one unto his workH4399.
