Nehemiah 4:2-4

Revised Geneva Translation

² and spoke before his brethren and the army of Samaria, and said, “What are these weak Jews doing? Will they fortify themselves? Will they sacrifice? Will they finish it in a day? Will they make the stones whole again out of the heaps of dust, seeing they are burnt?”

³ And Tobiah the Ammonite was beside him, and said, “Although they build, even if a fox goes up on it, yet he shall break down their stony wall!”

⁴ Hear, O our God, for we are despised! And turn their shame upon their own heads and give them to a prey in the land of their captivity.
