Nehemiah 4:2-4
English Standard Version
2 And he said in the presence of his brothers and of the army of (A)Samaria, “What are these feeble Jews doing? Will they restore it for themselves?[a] Will they sacrifice? Will they finish up in a day? Will they revive the stones out of the heaps of rubbish, and burned ones at that?” 3 (B)Tobiah the Ammonite was beside him, and he said, “Yes, what they are building—(C)if a fox goes up on it he will break down their stone wall!” 4 (D)Hear, O our God, for we are despised. (E)Turn back their taunt on their own heads and give them up to be plundered in a land where they are captives.
