New Century Version

⁹ But we prayed to our God and appointed guards to watch for them day and night.

¹⁰ The people of Judah said, “The workers are getting tired. There is so much trash we cannot rebuild the wall.”

¹¹ And our enemies said, “The Jews won’t know or see anything until we come among them and kill them and stop the work.”
