Nehemiah 4:4-6

American Standard Version

⁴ Hear, O our God; for we are despised: and turn back their reproach upon their own head, and give them up for a spoil in a land of captivity; ⁵ and cover not their iniquity, and let not their sin be blotted out from before thee; for they have provoked thee to anger before the builders. ⁶ So we built the wall; and all the wall was joined together unto half the height thereof: for the people had a mind to work.
