Nehemiah 4:3-5

International Standard Version

³ Tobiah the Ammonite stood to the side, commenting, “If a fox were to jump onto what they’re building, it would collapse their stone wall!”

Nehemiah’s Prayer

⁴ “Listen, our God, because we are being mocked. Let their insults fall back on them,^[a] and let them be dragged away as captives into exile. ⁵ Don’t atone their iniquity, and don’t let their sin be blotted out from before you, because they have demoralized the builders.”
