Nehemiah 4:2-3

New American Standard Bible

² And he spoke in the presence of his brothers and ^(A)the ^[a]wealthy people of Samaria and said, “What are these feeble Jews doing? Are they going to restore the temple for themselves? Can they offer sacrifices? Can they finish it in a day? Can they revive the stones from the ^(B)heaps of rubble, even the burned ones?” ³ Now Tobiah the Ammonite was near him, and he said, “Even what they are building—^(C)if a fox were to ^[b]jump on it, it would break their stone wall down!”
