Nehemiah 4:12-14
New International Reader's Version
12 Then the Jews who lived near our enemies came to us. They told us ten times, “No matter where you are, they’ll attack us.”
13 So I stationed some people behind the lowest parts of the wall. That’s where our enemies could easily attack us. I stationed the people family by family. They had their swords, spears and bows with them. 14 I looked things over. Then I stood up and spoke to the nobles, the officials and the rest of the people. I said, “Don’t be afraid of your enemies. Remember the Lord. He is great and powerful. So fight for your families. Fight for your sons and daughters. Fight for your wives and homes.”
