尼希米战胜阻力

参巴拉听说我们正在重建城墙,非常愤怒,就嘲笑犹太人, 当着他的同僚和撒玛利亚军兵的面说:“这群弱小的犹太人在做什么呢?要重建城墙吗?要献祭吗?要在一日之间建好吗?要用废墟中烧过的石头来建造吗?”

他身旁的多比雅说:“他们建的石墙,一只狐狸上去就能踩倒!”

我祷告说:“我们的上帝啊,求你垂听,因为我们正在被人耻笑。求你使他们对我们的凌辱归到他们自己头上,使他们被掳到外邦。 不要遮掩他们的恶行,也不要从你面前涂抹他们的罪恶,因为他们在这些建造的人面前惹你发怒。”

众人全心做工,把整个城墙连接起来,高达原来的一半。

尼希米戰勝阻力

參巴拉聽說我們正在重建城牆,非常憤怒,就嘲笑猶太人, 當著他的同僚和撒瑪利亞軍兵的面說:「這群弱小的猶太人在做什麼呢?要重建城牆嗎?要獻祭嗎?要在一日之間建好嗎?要用廢墟中燒過的石頭來建造嗎?」

他身旁的多比雅說:「他們建的石牆,一隻狐狸上去就能踩倒!」

我禱告說:「我們的上帝啊,求你垂聽,因為我們正在被人恥笑。求你使他們對我們的凌辱歸到他們自己頭上,使他們被擄到外邦。 不要遮掩他們的惡行,也不要從你面前塗抹他們的罪惡,因為他們在這些建造的人面前惹你發怒。」

眾人全心做工,把整個城牆連接起來,高達原來的一半。

And he spake before his brethren and the army of Samaria, and said, What do these feeble Jews? will they fortify themselves? will they sacrifice? will they make an end in a day? will they revive the stones out of the heaps of the rubbish which are burned?

Now Tobiah the Ammonite was by him, and he said, Even that which they build, if a fox go up, he shall even break down their stone wall.

Hear, O our God; for we are despised: and turn their reproach upon their own head, and give them for a prey in the land of captivity:

And cover not their iniquity, and let not their sin be blotted out from before thee: for they have provoked thee to anger before the builders.

So built we the wall; and all the wall was joined together unto the half thereof: for the people had a mind to work.
