Nehemiah 4:2-4
Evangelical Heritage Version
2 and said in front of his allies[a] and the army of Samaria, “What are those pathetic Jews doing? Will they restore[b] it by themselves? Will they sacrifice? Will they finish in one day? Will they refurbish the stones that came from the piles of rubble that have been burned?”
3 Tobiah the Ammonite was beside him. He said, “Whatever they are building, if even a fox climbed on it, it would break apart the wall made from their stones.”
4 Listen, O our God, because we are an object of contempt. Turn their ridicule back on their own heads. Hand them over as plunder in a land of captivity.
