Nehemiah 4:12-14
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
12 When the Jews who lived near them came, they said to us ten times, ‘From all the places where they live[a] they will come up against us.’[b] 13 So in the lowest parts of the space behind the wall, in open places, I stationed the people according to their families,[c] with their swords, their spears, and their bows. 14 After I looked these things over, I stood up and said to the nobles and the officials and the rest of the people, ‘Do not be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, who is great and awesome, and fight for your kin, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your homes.’
