Nehemiah 4 (kjv)

But it came to pass, that when Sanballat^H5571 heard^H8085 that we builded^H1129 the wall^H2346, he was wroth^H2734, and took great^H7235 indignation^H3707, and mocked^H3932 the Jews^H3064.²And he spake^H559 before^H6440 his brethren^H251 and the army^H2428 of Samaria^H8111, and said^H559, What do^H6213 these feeble^H537 Jews^H3064? will they fortify^H5800 themselves? will they sacrifice^H2076? will they make an end^H3615 in a day^H3117? will they revive^H2421 the stones^H68 out of the heaps^H6194 of the rubbish^H6083 which are burned^H8313?³Now Tobiah^H2900 the Ammonite^H5984 was by him^H681, and he said^H559, Even that which they build^H1129, if a fox^H7776 go up^H5927, he shall even break down^H6555 their stone^H68 wall^H2346.⁴Hear^H8085, O our God^H430; for we are despised^H939: and turn^H7725 their reproach^H2781 upon their own head^H7218, and give^H5414 them for a prey^H961 in the land^H776 of captivity^H7633:⁵And cover^H3680 not their iniquity^H5771, and let not their sin^H2403 be blotted out^H4229 from before^H6440 thee: for they have provoked thee to anger^H3707 before the builders^H1129.⁶So built^H1129 we the wall^H2346; and all the wall^H2346 was joined together^H7194 unto the half^H2677 thereof: for the people^H5971 had a mind^H3820 to work^H6213.

⁷But it came to pass, that when Sanballat^H5571, and Tobiah^H2900, and the Arabians^H6163, and the Ammonites^H5984, and the Ashdodites^H796, heard^H8085 that the walls^H2346 of Jerusalem^H3389 were made up^{H724 H5927}, and that the breaches^H6555 began^H2490 to be stopped^H5640, then they were very^H3966 wroth^H2734,⁸And conspired^H7194 all of them together^H3162 to come^H935 and to fight^H3898 against Jerusalem^H3389, and to hinder^{H6213 H8442} it.⁹Nevertheless we made our prayer^H6419 unto our God^H430, and set^H5975 a watch^H4929 against them day^H3119 and night^H3915, because^H6440 of them.¹⁰And Judah^H3063 said^H559, The strength^H3581 of the bearers of burdens^H5449 is decayed^H3782, and there is much^H7235 rubbish^H6083; so that we are not able^H3201 to build^H1129 the wall^H2346.¹¹And our adversaries^H6862 said^H559, They shall not know^H3045, neither see^H7200, till we come^H935 in the midst^H8432 among^H8432 them, and slay^H2026 them, and cause the work^H4399 to cease^H7673.¹²And it came to pass, that when the Jews^H3064 which dwelt^H3427 by them^H681 came^H935, they said^H559 unto us ten^H6235 times^H6471, From all places^H4725 whence ye shall return^H7725 unto us they will be upon you.

¹³Therefore set^H5975 I in the lower^H8482 places^H4725 behind^H310 the wall^H2346, and on the higher places^{H6706 H6708}, I even set^H5975 the people^H5971 after their families^H4940 with their swords^H2719, their spears^H7420, and their bows^H7198.¹⁴And I looked^H7200, and rose up^H6965, and said^H559 unto the nobles^H2715, and to the rulers^H5461, and to the rest^H3499 of the people^H5971, Be not ye afraid^H3372 of them^H6440: remember^H2142 the Lord^H136, which is great^H1419 and terrible^H3372, and fight^H3898 for your brethren^H251, your sons^H1121, and your daughters^H1323, your wives^H802, and your houses^H1004.¹⁵And it came to pass, when our enemies^H341 heard^H8085 that it was known^H3045 unto us, and God^H430 had brought^H6565 their counsel^H6098 to nought^H6565, that we returned^H7725 all of us to the wall^H2346, every one^H376 unto his work^H4399.¹⁶And it came to pass from that time^H3117 forth, that the half^H2677 of my servants^H5288 wrought^H6213 in the work^H4399, and the other half^H2677 of them held^H2388 both the spears^H7420, the shields^H4043, and the bows^H7198, and the habergeons^H8302; and the rulers^H8269 were behind^H310 all the house^H1004 of Judah^H3063.¹⁷They which builded^H1129 on the wall^H2346, and they that bare^H5375 burdens^H5447, with those that laded^H6006, every one with one^H259 of his hands^H3027 wrought^H6213 in the work^H4399, and with the other^H259 hand held^H2388 a weapon^H7973.¹⁸For the builders^H1129, every one^H376 had his sword^H2719 girded^H631 by his side^H4975, and so builded^H1129. And he that sounded^H8628 the trumpet^H7782 was by me^H681.

¹⁹And I said^H559 unto the nobles^H2715, and to the rulers^H5461, and to the rest^H3499 of the people^H5971, The work^H4399 is great^H7235 and large^H7342, and we are separated^H6504 upon the wall^H2346, one^H376 far from^H7350 another^H251.²⁰In what place^H4725 therefore ye hear^H8085 the sound^H6963 of the trumpet^H7782, resort^H6908 ye thither unto us: our God^H430 shall fight^H3898 for us.²¹So we laboured^H6213 in the work^H4399: and half^H2677 of them held^H2388 the spears^H7420 from the rising^H5927 of the morning^H7837 till the stars^H3556 appeared^H3318.²²Likewise at the same time^H6256 said^H559 I unto the people^H5971, Let every one^H376 with his servant^H5288 lodge^H3885 within^H8432 Jerusalem^H3389, that in the night^H3915 they may be a guard^H4929 to us, and labour^H4399 on the day^H3117.²³So neither I, nor my brethren^H251, nor my servants^H5288, nor the men^H582 of the guard^H4929 which followed^H310 me, none of us^H587 put off^H6584 our clothes^H899, saving that every one^H376 put them off^H7973 for washing^H4325.
