Nehemiah 4:2-4
English Standard Version
2 And he said in the presence of his brothers and of the army of (A)Samaria, “What are these feeble Jews doing? Will they restore it for themselves?[a] Will they sacrifice? Will they finish up in a day? Will they revive the stones out of the heaps of rubbish, and burned ones at that?” 3 (B)Tobiah the Ammonite was beside him, and he said, “Yes, what they are building—(C)if a fox goes up on it he will break down their stone wall!” 4 (D)Hear, O our God, for we are despised. (E)Turn back their taunt on their own heads and give them up to be plundered in a land where they are captives.

The Remnant of Israel
11 I ask, then, (A)has God rejected his people? By no means! For (B)I myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham,[a] a member of the tribe of Benjamin. 2 (C)God has not rejected his people whom he (D)foreknew. Do you not know what the Scripture says of Elijah, how he appeals to God against Israel? 3 (E)“Lord, they have killed your prophets, they have demolished your altars, and I alone am left, and they seek my life.” 4 But what is God's reply to him? (F)“I have kept for myself seven thousand men who have not bowed the knee to Baal.” 5 So too at the present time there is (G)a remnant, chosen by grace. 6 (H)But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works; otherwise grace would no longer be grace.

10 “Because you said, (A)‘These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and (B)we will take possession of them’—although the (C)Lord was there— 11 therefore, (D)as I live, declares the Lord God, I will deal with you (E)according to the anger and (F)envy that you showed because of your hatred against them. And (G)I will make myself known among them, when I judge you. 12 And you shall know that I am the Lord.
(H)“I have heard all the revilings that you uttered against the mountains of Israel, saying, ‘They are laid desolate; (I)they are given us to devour.’ 13 And (J)you magnified yourselves against me (K)with your mouth, and multiplied your words against me; I heard it. 14 Thus says the Lord God: (L)While the whole earth rejoices, I will make you desolate. 15 As you (M)rejoiced over the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so I will deal with you; you shall be desolate, (N)Mount Seir, and all Edom, all of it. Then (O)they will know that I am the Lord.

“Away! Away! Do not touch!”
So they became fugitives and wanderers;
people said among the nations,
“They shall stay with us no longer.”
Lamentations 2:15-16
English Standard Version
15 All who pass along the way
clap their hands at you;
(A)they hiss and wag their heads
at the daughter of Jerusalem:
“Is this the city that was called
(B)the perfection of beauty,
(C)the joy of all the earth?”
16 (D)All your enemies
rail against you;
they hiss, they gnash their teeth,
they cry: “We (E)have swallowed her!
Ah, this is the day we longed for;
now we have it; (F)we see it!”
Jeremiah 33:21-22
English Standard Version
21 (A)then also my covenant with David my servant may be broken, so that he shall not have a son to reign on his throne, and my covenant with the Levitical priests my ministers. 22 As (B)the host of heaven cannot be numbered and (C)the sands of the sea cannot be measured, so I will multiply the offspring of David my servant, and the Levitical priests who minister to me.”

6 But he disdained[a] to lay hands on Mordecai alone. So, as they had made known to him the people of Mordecai, Haman sought to destroy[b] all the Jews, the people of Mordecai, throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus.
7 In the first month, which is the month of Nisan, in the twelfth year of King Ahasuerus, (A)they cast Pur (that is, they cast lots) before Haman day after day; and they cast it month after month till the twelfth month, which is (B)the month of Adar. 8 Then Haman said to King Ahasuerus, “There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the peoples in all the provinces of your kingdom. (C)Their laws are different from those of every other people, and they do not keep the king's laws, so that it is not to the king's profit to tolerate them.
