Nehemiah 4:3-7

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)_.
But it came to pass, [that] when Sanballat
<05571>_,
and Tobiah
<02900>_,
and the Arabians
<06163>_,
and the Ammonites
<05984>_,
and the Ashdodites
<0796>_,
heard
<08085> (8804)
that the walls
<02346>
of Jerusalem
<03389>
were made up
<0724> <05927> (8804)_,
[and] that the breaches
<06555> (8803)
began
<02490> (8689)
to be stopped
<05640> (8736)_,
then they were very
<03966>
wroth
<02734> (8799)_,
{were made up: Heb. ascended}
