Nehemiah 4:8 DBY

⁶  But we built the wall; and all the wall was joined together to the half thereof; for the people had a mind to work.

⁷  And it came to pass, when Sanballat, and Tobijah, and the Arabians, and the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites heard that the walls of Jerusalem were being repaired, that the breaches began to be stopped, then they were very wroth,

⁸  and conspired all of them together to come to fight against Jerusalem, and to hinder it.

⁹  Then we prayed to our God, and set a watch against them day and night, because of them.

¹⁰  And Judah said, The strength of the bearers of burdens faileth, and there is much rubbish; so that we are not able to build at the wall.
