1

But it came to pass, that when Sanballat [5571] heard [8085] that we builded [1129] the wall, [2346] he was wroth, [2734] and took great [7235] indignation, [3707] and mocked [3932] the Jews. [3064]

2

And he spake [0559] before [6440] his brethren [0251] and the army [2428] of Samaria, [8111] and said, [0559] What do [6213] these feeble [0537] Jews? [3064] will they fortify [5800] themselves? will they sacrifice? [2076] will they make an end [3615] in a day? [3117] will they revive [2421] the stones [0068] out of the heaps [6194] of the rubbish [6083] which are burned? [8313]

3

Now Tobiah [2900] the Ammonite [5984] [was] by him, [0681] and he said, [0559] Even that which they build, [1129] if a fox [7776] go up, [5927] he shall even break down [6555] their stone [0068] wall. [2346]

4

Hear, [8085] O our God; [0430] for we are despised: [0939] and turn [7725] their reproach [2781] upon their own head, [7218] and give [5414] them for a prey [0961] in the land [0776] of captivity: [7633]

5

And cover [3680] not their iniquity, [5771] and let not their sin [2403] be blotted out [4229] from before [6440] thee: for they have provoked [thee] to anger [3707] before the builders. [1129]

6

So built [1129] we the wall; [2346] and all the wall [2346] was joined together [7194] unto the half [2677] thereof: for the people [5971] had a mind [3820] to work. [6213]

7

But it came to pass, [that] when Sanballat, [5571] and Tobiah, [2900] and the Arabians, [6163] and the Ammonites, [5984] and the Ashdodites, [0796] heard [8085] that the walls [2346] of Jerusalem [3389] were made up, [0724] [5927] [and] that the breaches [6555] began [2490] to be stopped, [5640] then they were very [3966] wroth, [2734]

8

And conspired [7194] all of them together [3162] to come [0935] [and] to fight [3898] against Jerusalem, [3389] and to hinder [6213] [8442] it.

9

Nevertheless we made our prayer [6419] unto our God, [0430] and set [5975] a watch [4929] against them day [3119] and night, [3915] because [6440] of them.

10

And Judah [3063] said, [0559] The strength [3581] of the bearers of burdens [5449] is decayed, [3782] and [there is] much [7235] rubbish; [6083] so that we are not able [3201] to build [1129] the wall. [2346]

11

And our adversaries [6862] said, [0559] They shall not know, [3045] neither see, [7200] till we come [0935] in the midst among [8432] them, and slay [2026] them, and cause the work [4399] to cease. [7673]

12

And it came to pass, that when the Jews [3064] which dwelt [3427] by them [0681] came, [0935] they said [0559] unto us ten [6235] times, [6471] From all places [4725] whence ye shall return [7725] unto us [they will be upon you].

13

Therefore set [5975] I in the lower [8482] places [4725] behind [0310] the wall, [2346] [and] on the higher places, [6706] [6708] I even set [5975] the people [5971] after their families [4940] with their swords, [2719] their spears, [7420] and their bows. [7198]

14

And I looked, [7200] and rose up, [6965] and said [0559] unto the nobles, [2715] and to the rulers, [5461] and to the rest [3499] of the people, [5971] Be not ye afraid [3372] of them: [6440] remember [2142] the Lord, [0136] [which is] great [1419] and terrible, [3372] and fight [3898] for your brethren, [0251] your sons, [1121] and your daughters, [1323] your wives, [0802] and your houses. [1004]

15

And it came to pass, when our enemies [0341] heard [8085] that it was known [3045] unto us, and God [0430] had brought their counsel [6098] to nought, [6565] that we returned [7725] all of us to the wall, [2346] every one [0376] unto his work. [4399]

16

And it came to pass from that time [3117] forth, [that] the half [2677] of my servants [5288] wrought [6213] in the work, [4399] and the other half [2677] of them held [2388] both the spears, [7420] the shields, [4043] and the bows, [7198] and the habergeons; [8302] and the rulers [8269] [were] behind [0310] all the house [1004] of Judah. [3063]

17

They which builded [1129] on the wall, [2346] and they that bare [5375] burdens, [5447] with those that laded, [6006] [every one] with one [0259] of his hands [3027] wrought [6213] in the work, [4399] and with the other [0259] [hand] held [2388] a weapon. [7973]

18

For the builders, [1129] every one [0376] had his sword [2719] girded [0631] by his side, [4975] and [so] builded. [1129] And he that sounded [8628] the trumpet [7782] [was] by me. [0681]

19

And I said [0559] unto the nobles, [2715] and to the rulers, [5461] and to the rest [3499] of the people, [5971] The work [4399] [is] great [7235] and large, [7342] and we are separated [6504] upon the wall, [2346] one [0376] far [7350] from another. [0251]

20

In what place [4725] [therefore] ye hear [8085] the sound [6963] of the trumpet, [7782] resort [6908] ye thither unto us: our God [0430] shall fight [3898] for us.

21

So we laboured [6213] in the work: [4399] and half [2677] of them held [2388] the spears [7420] from the rising [5927] of the morning [7837] till the stars [3556] appeared. [3318]

22

Likewise at the same time [6256] said [0559] I unto the people, [5971] Let every one [0376] with his servant [5288] lodge [3885] within [8432] Jerusalem, [3389] that in the night [3915] they may be a guard [4929] to us, and labour [4399] on the day. [3117]

23

So neither I, nor my brethren, [0251] nor my servants, [5288] nor the men [0582] of the guard [4929] which followed [0310] me, none of us [0587] put off [6584] our clothes, [0899] [saving that] every one [0376] put them off [7973] for washing. [4325]
