Nehemiah 3:33
33Now when Sanballat heard that we were building the wall, he became very angry and was greatly enraged. He mocked the Jews
Context of Nehemiah 3:33
31After him Malchijah, one of the goldsmiths, made repairs up to the house of the Temple servants, and the merchants opposite the Inspection Gate and as far as the room above the corner. 32Between the room above the corner and the Sheep Gate, the goldsmiths and the merchants worked. Now when Sanballat heard that we were building the wall, he became very angry and was greatly enraged. He mocked the Jews 34in the presence of his colleagues and the army of Samaria, saying: “What are these feeble Jews doing? Will they fortify themselves? Will they offer sacrifices? Will they finish in a day? Can they revive the stones from the heaps of rubble that are burnt?” 35Then Tobiah the Ammonite, who was beside him, said: “Even if a fox climbed on what they are building, it would break down their stone wall!”
