Nehemiah 4:7
Compare all
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.
7 Now it happened, awhen Sanballat, Tobiah, bthe Arabs, the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites heard that the walls of Jerusalem were being restored and the1 gaps were beginning to be closed, that they became very angry,  
8 and all of them aconspired together to come and attack Jerusalem and create confusion.  
9 Nevertheless awe made our prayer to our God, and because of them we set a watch against them day and night.  
10 Then Judah said, “The strength of the laborers is failing, and there is so much rubbish that we are not able to build the wall.”

Nehemiah

NEHEMIAH appears to have been the author of this book, from his usually writing in his own name, and indeed, except in those parts which are unmistakably later editions or borrowed from public documents, he usually employs the first person. The major portion of the book is occupied with a history of Nehemiah's twelve years' administration in Jerusalem, after which he returned to his duties in Shushan. At a later period he returned with new powers and commenced new and vigorous measures of reform, which are detailed in the later chapters of the book.
