Nehemiah 4:9-11

Revised Geneva Translation

⁹ Then we prayed to our God. And because of them we set watchmen against them, day and night.

¹⁰ And Judah said, “The strength of the bearers has weakened. And there is much earth, so that we are not able to build the wall.”

¹¹ Also, our adversaries had said, “They shall neither know nor see until we come into the midst of them, and kill them, and cause the work to cease.”
