Nehemiah 4:1-4

4:1

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>_.

4:2

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}

4:3

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>_.

4:4

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}
