Will they finish it in a day? Will they revive the stones out of the heaps of rubbish—burned ones at that?”(A) 3 Tobiah the Ammonite was beside him, and he said, “That stone wall they are building—any fox going up on it would break it down!”(B) 4 Hear, O our God, for we are despised; turn their taunt back on their own heads, and give them over as plunder in a land of captivity.(C)
