Nehemiah 4:4-6

Expanded Bible

⁴ I prayed, “Hear us, our God. We are ·hated [despised]. Turn the ·insults [taunts; sneers] of Sanballat and Tobiah back on their own heads. ·Let them be captured and stolen like valuables [Send them as plunder to a land of exile]. ⁵ Do not ·hide [cover; ignore] their guilt or ·take away [blot out] their sins so that you can’t see them, because they have ·insulted [deeply offended; or demoralized] the builders.”

⁶ So we rebuilt [^Land connected/joined together] the wall to half its height, because the people were ·willing to [enthusiastic in their; ^Lhad a heart to] work.
