Nehemiah 4:7-11

4:7

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}

4:8

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}

4:9

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.

4:10

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>_.

4:11

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)_.
