Nehemiah 4:4-6

New King James Version

^4 (A)Hear, O our God, for we are despised; ^(B)turn their reproach on their own heads, and give them as plunder to a land of captivity! ^5 (C)Do not cover their iniquity, and do not let their sin be blotted out from before You; for they have provoked You to anger before the builders.

⁶ So we built the wall, and the entire wall was joined together up to half its height, for the people had a mind to work.
