Nehemiah:4:1-6

*
But it came to pass ,
that when Sanballat heard that we builded the wall ,
he was wroth ,
and took great indignation ,
and mocked the Jews .
*
And he spake before his brethren and the army of Samaria ,
and said ,
What do these feeble Jews ?
will they fortify themselves ?
will they sacrifice ?
will they make an end in a day ?
will they revive the stones out of the heaps of the rubbish which are burned ?
*
Now Tobiah the Ammonite was by him ,
and he said ,
Even that which they build ,
if a fox go up ,
he shall even break down their stone wall .
*
Hear ,
O our God ;
for we are despised :
and turn their reproach upon their own head ro #
sh #,
and give them for a prey in the land of captivity :
*
And cover not their iniquity ,
and let not their sin be blotted out from before thee :
for they have provoked thee to anger before the builders .
*
So built we the wall ;
and all the wall was joined together unto the half thereof :
for the people had a mind to work .
