Nehemiah 4:9-11

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁹ And we prayed to our God, and set watchmen upon the wall day and night against them.

¹⁰ And Juda said: The strength of the bearer of burdens is decayed, and the rubbish is very much, and we shall not be able to build the wall.

¹¹ And our enemies said: Let them not know, nor understand, till we come in the midst of them, and kill them, and cause the work to cease.
