Neemias 4

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.

4 Hear, O our God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]; for we are despised: and turn their reproach (disgrace; shame) upon their own head, and give them for a prey in the land of captivity:

5 And cover not their iniquity, and let not their sin be blotted out from before youi: for they have provoked [youi] to anger before the builders.

6 So built we the wall; and all the wall was joined together unto the half thereof: for the people had a mind to work.
