1 But when Sanballat heard that we were building the wall, he was angry, and was very indignant, and mocked the Jews. 2 He spoke before his brothers and the army of Samaria, and said, "What are these feeble Jews doing? Will they fortify themselves? Will they sacrifice? Will they finish in a day? Will they revive the stones out of the heaps of rubbish, since they are burned?"
3 Now Tobiah the Ammonite was by him, and he said, "What they are building, if a fox climbed up it, he would break down their stone wall."

1 ויהי כאשר שמע סנבלט וטוביה והערבים והעמנים והאשדודים כי־עלתה ארוכה לחמות ירושלם כי־החלו הפרצים להסתם ויחר להם מאד׃
2 ויקשרו כלם יחדו לבוא להלחם בירושלם ולעשות לו תועה׃
3 ונתפלל אל־אלהינו ונעמיד משמר עליהם יומם ולילה מפניהם׃
