Nehemiah 4:3-5

New International Version

³ Tobiah^(A) the Ammonite, who was at his side, said, “What they are building—even a fox climbing up on it would break down their wall of stones!”^(B)

⁴ Hear us, our God, for we are despised.^(C) Turn their insults back on their own heads. Give them over as plunder in a land of captivity. ⁵ Do not cover up their guilt^(D) or blot out their sins from your sight,^(E) for they have thrown insults in the face of^[a] the builders.
