Nehemiah 4:1-6

But it came to pass, that when Sanballat
<05571>
heard
<08085> (8804)
that we builded
<01129> (8802)
the wall
<02346>_,
he was wroth
<02734> (8799)_,
and took great
<07235> (8687)
indignation
<03707> (8799)_,
and mocked
<03932> (8686)
the Jews
<03064>_.
And he spake
<0559> (8799)
before
<06440>
his brethren
<0251>
and the army
<02428>
of Samaria
<08111>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
What do
<06213> (8802)
these feeble
<0537>
Jews
<03064>_?
will they fortify
<05800> (8799)
themselves? will they sacrifice
<02076> (8799)_?
will they make an end
<03615> (8762)
in a day
<03117>_?
will they revive
<02421> (8762)
the stones
<068>
out of the heaps
<06194>
of the rubbish
<06083>
which are burned
<08313> (8803)_?
{fortify...: Heb. leave to themselves}
Now Tobiah
<02900>
the Ammonite
<05984>
[was] by him
<0681>_,
and he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Even that which they build
<01129> (8802)_,
if a fox
<07776>
go up
<05927> (8799)_,
he shall even break down
<06555> (8804)
their stone
<068>
wall
<02346>_.
Hear
<08085> (8798)_,
O our God
<0430>_;
for we are despised
<0939>_:
and turn
<07725> (8685)
their reproach
<02781>
upon their own head
<07218>_,
and give
<05414> (8798)
them for a prey
<0961>
in the land
<0776>
of captivity
<07633>_:
{despised: Heb. despite}
And cover
<03680> (8762)
not their iniquity
<05771>_,
and let not their sin
<02403>
be blotted out
<04229> (8735)
from before
<06440>
thee: for they have provoked [thee] to anger
<03707> (8689)
before the builders
<01129> (8802)_.
So built
<01129> (8799)
we the wall
<02346>_;
and all the wall
<02346>
was joined together
<07194> (8735)
unto the half
<02677>
thereof: for the people
<05971>
had a mind
<03820>
to work
<06213> (8800)_.
