New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

³ Tobiah the Ammonite was beside him, and he said, “That stone wall they are building—any fox going up on it would break it down!”^{(A) 4} Hear, O our God, for we are despised; turn their taunt back on their own heads, and give them over as plunder in a land of captivity.^{(B) 5} Do not cover their guilt, and do not let their sin be blotted out from your sight, for they have raged against the builders.^[a](C)
