Nehemiah 4:9-11

EasyEnglish Bible

⁹ So we continued to pray to our God. We also put guards on the walls in the day and the night, to keep the city safe.

¹⁰ Then the people in Judah complained, ‘Our workers are becoming weak. There are so many stones and rubbish! We cannot finish the work on the wall!’

¹¹ At the same time, our enemies were boasting, ‘Before the Jews even see us, we will attack them. We will kill them before they know what is happening. That will be the end of their work on the wall!’
