Nehemiah 4:19-21

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁹ And I said to the nobles, and to the magistrates, and to the rest of the common people: The work is great and wide, and we are separated on the wall one far from another:

²⁰ In what place soever you shall hear the sound of the trumpet, run all thither unto us: our God will fight for us.

²¹ And let us do the work: and let one half of us hold our spears from the rising of the morning, till the stars appear.
