Nehemiah 4:4-6

EasyEnglish Bible

⁴ So I prayed, ‘Hear us, our God. Our enemies think that we are fools. Make them seem like fools themselves! Let their enemies take them away as slaves. ⁵ Do not forgive their sins. Do not say that they are not guilty. They have insulted us when we are trying to build.’

⁶ The people worked hard because they wanted to build the wall. As a result, the wall all round the city soon became half as high as the old wall.
