Nehemiah 4:4-6

English Standard Version

^4 (A)Hear, O our God, for we are despised. ^(B)Turn back their taunt on their own heads and give them up to be plundered in a land where they are captives. ^5 (C)Do not cover their guilt, and let not their sin be blotted out from your sight, for they have provoked you to anger in the presence of the builders.

⁶ So we built the wall. And all the wall was joined together to half its height, for the people had a mind to work.
