Nehemiah Overcomes Opposition from Sanballat
4 ⌞Nehemiah prayed,⌟ “Our God, hear us. We are despised. Turn their insults back on them, and let them be robbed in the land where they are prisoners. 5 Don’t ignore their guilt, and don’t let their sins disappear from your records. They have insulted you in front of these builders.”
6 So we rebuilt the wall, which was rebuilt to about half its ⌞original⌟ height. The people worked with determination.

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.
