| [1]But it came to pass, that when SanballatH5571 heardH8085[H8804] that we buildedH1129[H8802] the wallH2346, he was wrothH2734[H8799], and took greatH7235[H8687] indignationH3707[H8799], and mockedH3932[H8686] the JewsH3064. |

| [2]And he spakeH559[H8799] beforeH6440 his brethrenH251 and the armyH2428 of SamariaH8111, and saidH559[H8799], What doH6213[H8802] these feebleH537 JewsH3064? will they fortifyH5800[H8799] themselves? will they sacrificeH2076[H8799]? will they make an endH3615[H8762] in a dayH3117? will they reviveH2421[H8762] the stonesH68 out of the heapsH6194 of the rubbishH6083 which are burnedH8313?[H8803] |

| [3]Now TobiahH2900 the AmmoniteH5984 was by himH681, and he saidH559[H8799], Even that which they buildH1129[H8802], if a foxH7776 go upH5927[H8799], he shall even break downH6555[H8804] their stoneH68 wallH2346. |

| [4]HearH8085[H8798], O our GodH430; for we are despisedH939: and turnH7725[H8685] their reproachH2781 upon their own headH7218, and giveH5414[H8798] them for a preyH961 in the landH776 of captivityH7633: |

| [5]And coverH3680[H8762] not their iniquityH5771, and let not their sinH2403 be blotted outH4229[H8735] from beforeH6440 thee: for they have provoked thee to angerH3707[H8689] before the buildersH1129.[H8802] |

| [6]So builtH1129[H8799] we the wallH2346; and all the wallH2346 was joined togetherH7194[H8735] unto the halfH2677 thereof: for the peopleH5971 had a mindH3820 to workH6213.[H8800] |

| [7]But it came to pass, that when SanballatH5571, and TobiahH2900, and the ArabiansH6163, and the AmmonitesH5984, and the AshdoditesH796, heardH8085[H8804] that the wallsH2346 of JerusalemH3389 were made upH724[H5927][H8804], and that the breachesH6555[H8803] beganH2490[H8689] to be stoppedH5640[H8736], then they were veryH3966 H2734wrothH8799 |

| [8]And conspiredH7194[H8799] all of them togetherH3162 to comeH935[H8800] and to fightH3898[H8736] against JerusalemH3389, and to hinderH6213[H8800] itH8442. |

| [9]Nevertheless we made our prayerH6419[H8691] unto our GodH430, and setH5975[H8686] a watchH4929 against them dayH3119 and nightH3915, because of themH6440. |

| [10]And JudahH3063 saidH559[H8799], The strengthH3581 of the bearers of burdensH5449 is decayedH3782[H8804], and there is muchH7235[H8687] rubbishH6083; so that we are not ableH3201[H8799] to buildH1129[H8800] the wallH2346. |

| [11]And our adversariesH6862 saidH559[H8799], They shall not knowH3045[H8799], neither seeH7200[H8799], till we comeH935[H8799] in the midstH8432 amongH8432 them, and slayH2026[H8804] them, and cause the workH4399 to ceaseH7673.[H8689] |

| [12]And it came to pass, that when the JewsH3064 which dweltH3427[H8802] by themH681 cameH935[H8804], they saidH559[H8799] unto us tenH6235 timesH6471, From all placesH4725 whence ye shall returnH7725 unto us they will be upon youH8799. |

| [13]Therefore setH5975[H8686] I in the lowerH8482 placesH4725 behindH310 the wallH2346, and on the higher placesH6706[H8675][H6708], I even setH5975[H8686] the peopleH5971 after their familiesH4940 with their swordsH2719, their spearsH7420, and their bowsH7198. |

| [14]And I lookedH7200[H8799], and rose upH6965[H8799], and saidH559[H8799] unto the noblesH2715, and to the rulersH5461, and to the restH3499 of the peopleH5971, Be not ye afraidH3372[H8799] of themH6440: rememberH2142[H8798] the LordH136, which is greatH1419 and terribleH3372[H8737], and fightH3898[H8734] for your brethrenH251, your sonsH1121, and your daughtersH1323, your wivesH802, and your housesH1004. |

| [15]And it came to pass, when our enemiesH341[H8802] heardH8085[H8804] that it was knownH3045[H8738] unto us, and GodH430 had broughtH6565 their counselH6098 to noughtH6565[H8686], that we returnedH7725[H8799] all of us to the wallH2346, every oneH376 unto his workH4399. |
[No book] |
| [16]And it came to pass from that timeH3117 forth, that the halfH2677 of my servantsH5288 wroughtH6213[H8802] in the workH4399, and the other halfH2677 of them heldH2388[H8688] both the spearsH7420, the shieldsH4043, and the bowsH7198, and the habergeonsH8302; and the rulersH8269 were behindH310 all the houseH1004 of JudahH3063. |

| [17]They which buildedH1129[H8802] on the wallH2346, and they that bareH5375[H8802] burdensH5447, with those that ladedH6006[H8802], every one with oneH259 of his handsH3027 wroughtH6213[H8802] in the workH4399, and with the otherH259 hand heldH2388[H8688] a weaponH7973. |

| [18]For the buildersH1129[H8802], every oneH376 had his swordH2719 girdedH631[H8803] by his sideH4975, and so buildedH1129[H8802]. And he that soundedH8628[H8802] the trumpetH7782 was by meH681. |

| [19]And I saidH559[H8799] unto the noblesH2715, and to the rulersH5461, and to the restH3499 of the peopleH5971, The workH4399 is greatH7235[H8687] and largeH7342, and we are separatedH6504[H8737] upon the wallH2346, oneH376 far fromH7350 anotherH251. |

| [20]In what placeH4725 therefore ye hearH8085[H8799] the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782, resortH6908[H8735] ye thither unto us: our GodH430 shall fightH3898 for usH8735. |
[No book] |
| [21]So we labouredH6213[H8802] in the workH4399: and halfH2677 of them heldH2388[H8688] the spearsH7420 from the risingH5927[H8800] of the morningH7837 till the starsH3556 appearedH3318.[H8800] |

| [22]Likewise at the same timeH6256 saidH559[H8804] I unto the peopleH5971, Let every oneH376 with his servantH5288 lodgeH3885[H8799] withinH8432 JerusalemH3389, that in the nightH3915 they may be a guardH4929 to us, and labourH4399 on the dayH3117. |
[No book] |
| [23]So neither I, nor my brethrenH251, nor my servantsH5288, nor the menH582 of the guardH4929 which followedH310 me, none of usH587 put offH6584[H8802] our clothesH899, saving that every oneH376 put them offH7973 for washingH4325. |
