1 But it came to pass, that when Sanvalat [strength] heard that we built the wall, he was exceedingly angry, and took great indignation, and mocked the Y’hudim (Judeans).
2 And he spoke before his brethren and the army of Shomron [watch mountain], and said, What do these feeble Y’hudim (Judeans)? will they fortify themselves? will they sacrifice? will they make an end in a day? will they revive the stones out of the heaps of the rubbish which are burned?
3 Now Toviyah [Yehovah is good] the ‘Amoni [tribal] [was] by him, and he said, Even that which they build, if a fox go up, he shall even break down their stone wall.
