Nehemiah 4:2-4
Legacy Standard Bible
2 He spoke in the presence of his brothers and (A)the [a]wealthy men of Samaria and said, “What are these feeble Jews doing? Are they going to restore it for themselves? Can they offer sacrifices? Can they complete it in a day? Can they bring the stones to life from the [b](B)dusty rubble, though they are burned?” 3 Now Tobiah the Ammonite was near him and he said, “Even what they are building—(C)if a fox should [c]jump on it, he would break their stone wall down!”
4 (D)Hear, O our God, for we are despised! (E)Return their reproach on their own heads and give them up for plunder in a land of captivity.
