Nehemiah 4:8-10

Living Bible

⁸ They plotted to lead an army against Jerusalem to bring about riots and confusion. ⁹ But we prayed to our God and guarded the city day and night to protect ourselves.

¹⁰ Then some of the leaders began complaining that the workmen were becoming tired; and there was so much rubble to be removed that we could never get it done by ourselves.
