Nehemiah 4:9-11

1599 Geneva Bible

⁹ Then we prayed unto our God, and set watchmen by them, day and night, because of them.

¹⁰ And Judah said, The strength of the bearers is weakened, and there is much earth, so that we are not able to build the wall.

¹¹ Also our adversaries had said, They shall not know, neither see, till we come into the midst of them, and slay them, and cause the work to cease.
