Nehemiah 4:7-15
7But it came to pass, when SanballatH5571, and TobiahH2900, and the ArabiansH6163, and the AmmonitesH5984, and the AshdoditesH796, heardH8085 that the wallsH2346 of JerusalemH3389 were set upH724H5927, and that the breachesH6555 beganH2490 to be closedH5640, then they were veryH3966 angryH2734,1 8And conspiredH7194 all of them togetherH3162 to comeH935 and to fightH3898 against JerusalemH3389, and to hinderH6213H8442 it.2 9Nevertheless we made our prayerH6419 to 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 failingH3782, 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 who dweltH3427 by themH681 cameH935, they saidH559 to us tenH6235 timesH6471, From all placesH4725 where ye shall returnH7725 to us they will be upon you .3 13Therefore I setH5975 in the lowerH8482 placesH4725 behindH310 the wallH2346, and on the higher placesH6706H6708, I even setH5975 the peopleH5971 according to their familiesH4940 with their swordsH2719, their spearsH7420, and their bowsH7198.4 14And I lookedH7200, and aroseH6965, and saidH559 to the noblesH2715, and to the rulersH5461, and to the restH3499 of the peopleH5971, Be ye not afraidH3372 of themH6440: rememberH2142 the LordH136, who is greatH1419 and terribleH3372, and fightH3898 for your brethrenH251, your sonsH1121, and your daughtersH1323, your wivesH802, and your housesH1004. 15And it came to pass, when our enemiesH341 heardH8085 that it was knownH3045 to us, and GodH430 had broughtH6565 their counselH6098 to noughtH6565, that we returnedH7725 all of us to the wallH2346, every oneH376 to his workH4399.
