Nehemiah 4:2-4
New American Standard Bible
2 And he spoke in the presence of his brothers and (A)the [a]wealthy people of Samaria and said, “What are these feeble Jews doing? Are they going to restore the temple for themselves? Can they offer sacrifices? Can they finish it in a day? Can they revive the stones from the (B)heaps of rubble, even the burned ones?” 3 Now Tobiah the Ammonite was near him, and he said, “Even what they are building—(C)if a fox were to [b]jump on it, it would break their stone wall down!”
4 (D)Hear, O our God, how we are an object of contempt! (E)Return their taunting on their own heads, and turn them into plunder in a land of captivity.
