Nehemiah 4:2-4

Lexham English Bible

² Then he said before his brothers and the army of Samaria, “What are the feeble Jews doing? Will they restore these things for themselves? Will they sacrifice? Will they finish it in a day? Will they revive the stones from the piles of rubble—even those burned up?”

³ Tobiah the Ammonite was beside him and said, “Their wall of stone that they are building would break down if a fox went on it!”

⁴ Hear, our God, for we are despised. Turn their scorn on their head and give them over to plunder in the land of captivity.
