Nehemiah 4:4-6

Living Bible

⁴ Then I prayed, “Hear us, O Lord God, for we are being mocked. May their scoffing fall back upon their own heads, and may they themselves become captives in a foreign land! ⁵ Do not ignore their sin. Do not blot it out, for they have despised you in despising us who are building your wall.”

⁶ At last the wall was completed to half its original height around the entire city—for the workers worked hard.
