Nehemiah 4:10 Context
8And conspired all of them together, to come and to fight against Ierusalem, and to hinder it. 9Neuertheles, we made our prayer vnto our God, and set a watch against them, day and night, because of them. 10And Iudah 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. 11And our aduersaries said, They shall not know, neither see, till wee come in the midst among them, and slay them, and cause the worke to cease. 12And it came to passe that when the Iewes which dwelt by them, came, they said vnto vs ten time, From all places, whence yee shall returne vnto vs, they will be vpon you.
