Nehemiah 4:3-5

EasyEnglish Bible

³ Tobiah the Ammonite was with him. Tobiah said, ‘The wall that the Jews are trying to build is very weak. Even if a little fox climbs up on it, the stones would all fall down again!’

⁴ So I prayed, ‘Hear us, our God. Our enemies think that we are fools. Make them seem like fools themselves! Let their enemies take them away as slaves. ⁵ Do not forgive their sins. Do not say that they are not guilty. They have insulted us when we are trying to build.’
