Nehemiah 4 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

Hear ^H8085, O our God ^H430, for ^H3588 we are despised ^H939! Return ^H7725 their reproach ^H2781 on their own heads ^H7218 and give ^H5414 them up ^H5414 for plunder ^H961 in a land ^H776 of captivity ^H7633.

So we built ^H1129 the wall ^H2346 and the whole ^H3605 wall ^H2346 was joined ^H7194 together ^H7194 to half ^H2677 its height, and the people ^H5971 had ^H1961 a heart ^H3820 to work ^H6213.

[fn]Now it happened that when ^H834 Sanballat ^H5571, Tobiah ^H2900, the Arabs ^H6163, the Ammonites ^H5984, and the Ashdodites ^H796 heard ^H8085 that the [fn]repair ^H724 of the walls ^H2346 of Jerusalem ^H3389 went ^H5927 on, and that the places broken ^H6555 down began ^H2490 to be ^H5640 closed ^H5640, they were ^H2734 very ^H3966 angry ^H2734.

Then Judah ^H3063 said ^H559,

“The [fn]strength ^H3581 of the burden ^H5449 bearers ^H5449 is failing ^H3782,

Yet there is much ^H7235 [fn]rubbish ^H6083;

And we ourselves ^H587 are ^H3201 unable ^H3808 H3201

To rebuild ^H1129 the wall ^H2346.”

Our adversaries ^H6862 said ^H559, “They will not know ^H3045 or see ^H7200 until ^H5704 H834 we come ^H935 among ^H413 H8432 them, kill ^H2026 them, and put ^H7673 a ^H7673 stop ^H7673 to ^H7673 the work ^H4399.”

Now ^H834 it happened that when our enemies ^H340 heard ^H8085 that it was known ^H3045 to us, and that God ^H430 had thwarted ^H6565 their counsel ^H6098, then all ^H3605 of us returned ^H7725 to the wall ^H2346, each ^H376 one ^H376 to his work ^H4399.

So we kept ^H6213 doing ^H6213 the work ^H4399 with half ^H2677 of them holding ^H2388 spears ^H7420 from [fn]dawn ^H5927 H7837 until ^H5704 the stars ^H3556 came ^H3318 out ^H3318.
