Nehemiah 4:4-6
Contemporary English Version
4 But I prayed, “Our God, these people hate us and have wished horrible things for us. Please answer our prayers and make their insults fall on them! Let them be the ones to be dragged away as prisoners of war. 5 Don't forgive the mean and evil way they have insulted the builders.”
6 The people worked hard, and we built the walls of Jerusalem halfway up again.

Nehemiah 4:4-6
New International Version
4 Hear us, our God, for we are despised.(A) Turn their insults back on their own heads. Give them over as plunder in a land of captivity. 5 Do not cover up their guilt(B) or blot out their sins from your sight,(C) for they have thrown insults in the face of[a] the builders.
6 So we rebuilt the wall till all of it reached half its height, for the people worked with all their heart.
