Nehemiah:4:3-7

*
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 ,
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 .
*
But it came to pass ,
that when Sanballat ,
and Tobiah ,
and the Arabians ,
and the Ammonites ,
and the Ashdodites ,
heard that the walls of Jerusalem were made up ,
and that the breaches began to be stopped ,
then they were very wroth ,
