Nehemiah 4:10 YLT

⁸  and they conspire, all of them together, to come in to fight against Jerusalem, and to do to it injury.

⁹  And we pray unto our God, and appoint a watch against them, by day and by night, because of them.

¹⁰  And Judah saith, 'The power of the burden-bearers hath become feeble, and the rubbish 'is' abundant, and we are not able to build on the wall.'

¹¹  And our adversaries say, 'They do not know, nor see, till that we come in to their midst, and have slain them, and caused the work to cease.'

¹²  And it cometh to pass, when the Jews have come who are dwelling near them, that they say to us ten times from all the places whither ye return -- 'they are' against us.
