Nehemiah 4:6 Context
4Heare, O our God, for we are despised: and turne their reproch vpon their owne head, and giue them for a pray, in the land of captiuitie. 5And couer not their iniquitie, and let not their sinne bee blotted out from before thee: for they haue prouoked thee to anger before the builders. 6So built we the wall, and all the wall was ioyned together vnto the halfe therof: for the people had a minde to worke. 7¶ But it came to passe that when Sanballat and Tobiah, and the Arabians, and the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites, heard that the walles of Ierusalem were made vp, and that the breaches began to bee stopped, then they were very wroth, 8And conspired all of them together, to come and to fight against Ierusalem, and to hinder it.
