Nehemiah 4:20-22

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²⁰ Rally to us wherever you hear the sound of the trumpet. Our God will fight for us.”

²¹ So we labored at the work, and half of them held the spears from break of dawn until the stars came out. ²² I also said to the people at that time, “Let every man and his servant pass the night inside Jerusalem, so that they may be a guard for us by night and may labor by day.”
