6 So we built the wall; and all the wall was joined together to the half of it, for the people had a mind to work.
7 But it came to pass, when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and the Arabians, and the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites, heard that the walls of Jerusalem were set up, [and] that the breaches began to be stopped, then they were very wroth,
8 And conspired all of them together to come [and] to fight against Jerusalem, and to hinder it.
9 Nevertheless we made our prayer 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 is decayed, and [there is] much rubbish; so that we are not able to build the wall.
