Nehemiah 4:2-5

Nehemiah 4:2-5

[2] And he spake  before  his brethren  of Samaria,  and said,  What do  these feeble  Jews?  will they fortify  themselves? will they sacrifice?  will they make an end  in a day?  will they revive  the stones  out of the heaps  of the rubbish  which are burned?  [3] Now Tobiah  the Ammonite  was by him,  and he said,  Even that which they build,  if a fox  go up,  he shall even break down  their stone  wall.  [4] Hear,  O our God;  for we are despised:  and turn  their reproach  upon their own head,  and give  them for a prey  in the land  of captivity:  [5] And cover  not their iniquity,  and let not their sin  be blotted out  from before  thee: for they have provoked thee to anger  before the builders.
