Nehemiah 4:1-11

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)_.

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}

And conspired
<07194> (8799)

all of them together
<03162>

to come
<0935> (8800)

[and] to fight
<03898> (8736)

against Jerusalem
<03389>_,

and to hinder
<06213> (8800) <08442>

it. {to hinder...: Heb. to make an error to it}

Nevertheless we made our prayer
<06419> (8691)

unto our God
<0430>_,

and set
<05975> (8686)

a watch
<04929>

against them day
<03119>

and night
<03915>_,

because
<06440>

of them.

And Judah
<03063>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

The strength
<03581>

of the bearers of burdens
<05449>

is decayed
<03782> (8804)_,

and [there is] much
<07235> (8687)

rubbish
<06083>_;

so that we are not able
<03201> (8799)

to build
<01129> (8800)

the wall
<02346>_.

And our adversaries
<06862>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

They shall not know
<03045> (8799)_,

neither see
<07200> (8799)_,

till we come
<0935> (8799)

in the midst
<08432>

among
<08432>

them, and slay
<02026> (8804)

them, and cause the work
<04399>

to cease
<07673> (8689)_.
