Nehemiah 3:35

Context of Nehemiah 3:35

33Now 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?” Then 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!” 36Hear, our God, for we are despised. Turn their insult back on their own head! Give them up as plunder in a land of captivity. 37Do not cover their guilt or blot out their sin from before You, for they have provoked You to anger before the builders.
