Nehemiah 4:4-6

21st Century King James Version

⁴ Hear, O our God, for we are despised; and turn their reproach upon their own head, and give them as a prey in the 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 built we the wall; and all the wall was joined together unto half its height, for the people had a mind to work.
