Nehemiah 4:3-5

Living Bible

³ Tobiah, who was standing beside him, remarked, “If even a fox walked along the top of their wall, it would collapse!”

⁴ Then I prayed, “Hear us, O Lord God, for we are being mocked. May their scoffing fall back upon their own heads, and may they themselves become captives in a foreign land! ⁵ Do not ignore their sin. Do not blot it out, for they have despised you in despising us who are building your wall.”
