Nehemiah 4:4-6

New American Standard Bible 1995

^4 (A)Hear, O our God, how we are despised! ^(B)Return their reproach on their own heads and give them up for plunder in a land of captivity. ⁵ Do not ^[a](C)forgive their iniquity and let not their sin be blotted out before You, for they have ^[b]demoralized the builders.

⁶ So we built the wall and the whole wall was joined together to half its height, for the people had a ^[c]mind to work.
