Nehemiah 4:9-11

International Standard Version

Nehemiah Reacts to Sanballat

⁹ But we prayed to our God. We also set up guards day and night because of them.

¹⁰ Meanwhile, the people of^[a] Judah said, “The builders are tired and there’s so much rubble that we can’t reconstruct the wall!”

¹¹ Our enemies said, “Before they notice or see us, we’ll penetrate their midst, kill them, and stop the work!”
