Nehemiah 4:4
Compare all
2 And he spoke before his brethren and the army of Samaria, and said, “What are these feeble Jews doing? Will they fortify themselves? Will they offer sacrifices? Will they complete it in a day? Will they revive the stones from the heaps of rubbish—stones that are burned?”
3 Now aTobiah the Ammonite was beside him, and he said, “Whatever they build, if even a fox goes up on it, he will break down their stone wall.”  
4 aHear, O our God, for we are despised; bturn their reproach on their own heads, and give them as plunder to a land of captivity!  
5 aDo not cover their iniquity, and do not let their sin be blotted out from before You; for they have provoked You to anger before the builders.  
6 So we built the wall, and the entire wall was joined together up to half its height, for the people had a mind to work.
