Nehemiah 4:4-6

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁴ [And Nehemiah prayed] Hear, O our God, for we are despised. Turn their taunts upon their own heads, and give them for a prey in a land of their captivity.

⁵ Cover not their iniquity and let not their sin be blotted out before You, for they have vexed [with alarm] the builders and provoked You.

⁶ So we built the wall, and all [of it] was joined together to half its height, for the people had a heart and mind to work.
