Nehemiah 4:9-11

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁹ But because of them we made our prayer to our God and set a watch against them day and night.

¹⁰ And [the leaders of] Judah said, The strength of the burden bearers is weakening, and there is much rubbish; we are not able to work on the wall.

¹¹ And our enemies said, They will not know or see till we come into their midst and kill them and stop the work.
