Nehemiah 4:14 (RV) Revised Version

1 But it came to pass that, when Sanballat heard that we builded the wall, he was wroth, and took great indignation, and mocked the Jews.
2 And he spake before his brethren and the army of Samaria, and said, What do these feeble Jews? will they fortify themselves? will they sacrifice? will they make an end in a day? will they revive the stones out of the heaps of rubbish, seeing they are burned?
3 Now Tobiah the Ammonite was by him, and he said, Even that which they build, if a fox go up, he shall break down their stone wall.
4 Hear, O our God; for we are despised: and turn back their reproach upon their own head, and give them up to spoiling in a land of captivity:
5 and cover not their iniquity, and let not their sin be blotted out from before thee: for they have provoked {cf15i thee} to anger before the builders.
6 So we built the wall; and all the wall was joined together unto half {cf15i the height} thereof: for the people had a mind to work.
7 But it came to pass that, when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and the Arabians, and the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites, heard that the repairing of the walls of Jerusalem went forward, {cf15i and} that the breaches began to be stopped, then they were very wroth;
8 and they conspired all of them together to come and fight against Jerusalem, and to cause confusion therein.
9 But we made our prayer unto our God, and set a watch against them day and night, because of them.
10 And Judah said, The strength of the bearers of burdens is decayed, and there is much rubbish; so that we are not able to build the wall.
11 And our adversaries said, They shall not know, neither see, till we come into the midst of them, and slay them, and cause the work to cease.
12 And it came to pass that, when the Jews which dwelt by them came, they said unto us ten times from all places, Ye must return unto us.
13 Therefore set I in the lowest parts of the space behind the wall, In the open places, I even set the people after their families with their swords, their spears, and their bows.
14 And I looked, and rose up, and said unto the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, Be not ye afraid of them: remember the Lord, which is great and terrible, and fight for your brethren, your sons and your daughters, your wives and your houses.
15 And it came to pass, when our enemies heard that it was known unto us, and God had brought their counsel to nought, that we returned all of us to the wall, every one unto his work.
16 And it came to pass from that time forth, that half of my servants wrought in the work, and half of them held the spears, the shields, and the bows, and the coats of mail; and the rulers were behind all the house of Judah.
17 They that builded the wall and they that bare burdens laded themselves, every one with one of his hands wrought in the work, and with the other held his weapon;
18 and the builders, every one had his sword girded by his side, and so builded. And he that sounded the trumpet was by me.
19 And I said unto the nobles, and to the rulers and to the rest of the people, The work is great and large, and we are separated upon the wall, one far from another:
20 in what place soever ye hear the sound of the trumpet, resort ye thither unto us; our God shall fight for us.
21 So we wrought in the work: and half of them held the spears from the rising of the morning till the stars appeared.
22 Likewise at the same time said I unto the people, Let every one with his servant lodge within Jerusalem, that in the night they may be a guard to us, and may labour in the day.
23 So neither I, nor my brethren, nor my servants, nor the men of the guard which followed me, none of us put off our clothes, every one {cf15i went with} his weapon {cf15i to} the water.
1 But it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS , that when H834 RPRO Sanballat H5571 heard H8085 that H3588 CONJ we H587 PPRO-1MP built H1129 the wall H2346 , he was wroth H2734 W-VQY3MS , and took great indignation H3707 , and mocked H3932 the Jews H3064 .
2 And he spoke H559 W-VQY3MS before H6440 L-CMP his brethren H251 NMP-3MS and the army H2428 of Samaria H8111 , and said H559 W-VQY3MS , What H4100 IGAT do H6213 these feeble H537 Jews H3064 ? will they fortify H5800 themselves ? will they sacrifice H2076 ? will they make an end H3615 in a day H3117 ? will they revive H2421 the stones H68 out of the heaps H6194 of the rubbish H6083 which H1992 are burned H8313 ?
3 Now Tobiah H2900 the Ammonite H5984 was by H681 him , and he said H559 W-VQY3MS , Even H1571 CONJ that which H834 RPRO they H1992 PPRO-3MP build H1129 , if H518 PART a fox H7776 go up H5927 VQY3MS , he shall even break down H6555 their stone H68 wall H2346 .
4 Hear H8085 VQI2MS , O our God H430 ; for H3588 CONJ we are H1961 despised H939 : and turn H7725 their reproach H2781 upon H413 PREP their own head H7218 , and give H5414 them for a prey H961 in the land H776 B-GFS of captivity H7633 :
5 And cover H3680 not H408 W-NPAR their iniquity H5771 , and let not H408 W-NPAR their sin H2403 be blotted out H4229 from before H6440 L-CMP thee : for H3588 CONJ they have provoked thee to anger H3707 before H5048 L-PREP the builders H1129 .
6 So built H1129 we the wall H2346 ; and all H3605 NMS the wall H2346 was joined together H7194 unto H5704 PREP the half H2677 thereof : for the people H5971 had H1961 W-VQY3MS a mind H3820 NMS to work H6213 .
7 But it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS , that when H834 Sanballat H5571 , and Tobiah H2900 , and the Arabians H6163 , and the Ammonites H5984 , and the Ashdodites H796 , heard H8085 that H3588 CONJ the walls H2346 of Jerusalem H3389 were made up H5927 VQQ3FS , and that H3588 CONJ the breaches H6555 began H2490 to be stopped H5640 , then they were very H3966 ADV wroth H2734 W-VQY3MS ,
8 And conspired H7194 all H3605 of them together H3162 ADV-3MS to come H935 L-VQFC and to fight H3898 against Jerusalem H3389 , and to hinder H6213 it .
9 Nevertheless we made our prayer H6419 unto H413 PREP our God H430 , and set H5975 a watch H4929 against H5921 PREP-3MP them day H3119 ADV and night H3915 W-NMS , because of them .
10 And Judah H3063 said H559 W-VQY3MS , The strength H3581 CMS of the bearers of burdens H5449 is decayed H3782 , and there is much H7235 VHFA rubbish H6083 ; so that we H587 are not H3808 NADV able H3201 to build H1129 the wall H2346 .
11 And our adversaries H6862 said H559 W-VQY3MP , They shall not H3808 NADV know H3045 , neither H3808 W-NADV see H7200 VQY3MP , till H5704 PREP we come H935 VNQ3MS in H413 PREP the midst among H8432 them , and slay H2026 them , and cause the work H4399 to cease H7673 .
12 And it came to pass H1961 W-VPY3MS , that when H834 RPRO the Jews H3064 which dwelt H3427 by H681 them came H935 VQQ3MP , they said H559 W-VQY3MP unto us ten H6235 MFS times H6471 NFP , From all H3605 M-CMS places H4725 whence H834 RPRO ye shall return H7725 VQY2MP unto H5921 us they will be upon you .
13 Therefore set H5975 I in the lower H8482 places H4725 behind H310 the wall H2346 , and on the higher places H6706 , I even set H5975 the people H5971 after their families H4940 with H5973 PREP their swords H2719 , their spears H7420 , and their bows H7198 .
14 And I looked H7200 , and rose up H6965 , and said H559 W-VQY1MS unto H413 PREP the nobles H2715 , and to H413 PREP the rulers H5461 , and to H413 PREP the rest H3499 of the people H5971 , Be not H408 NPAR ye afraid H3372 of M-CMP-3MP them : remember H2142 the Lord H136 EDS , which is great H1419 D-AMS and terrible H3372 , and fight H3898 for H5921 PREP your brethren H251 , your sons H1121 , and your daughters H1323 , your wives H802 , and your houses H1004 .
15 And it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS , when H834 our enemies H341 heard H8085 VQQ3MP that H3588 CONJ it was known H3045 unto us , and God H430 D-EDP had brought their counsel to naught H6565 , that we returned H7725 all H3605 of us to H413 PREP the wall H2346 , every one H376 NMS unto H413 PREP his work H4399 .
16 And it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS from H4480 PREP that H1931 D-PPRO-3MS time H3117 D-AMS forth , that the half H2677 of my servants H5288 wrought H6213 in the work H4399 , and the other half H2677 of them held H2388 both the spears H7420 , the shields H4043 , and the bows H7198 , and the habergeons H8302 ; and the rulers H8269 were behind H310 PREP all H3605 NMS the house H1004 CMS of Judah H3063 .
17 They which built H1129 on the wall H2346 , and they that bore H5375 burdens H5447 , with those that laded H6006 , every one with one H259 B-RFS of his hands H3027 CFS-3MS wrought H6213 VQPMS in the work H4399 , and with the other H259 hand held H2388 a weapon H7973 .
18 For the builders H1129 , every one H376 NMS had his sword H2719 girded H631 VWPMP by H5921 PREP his side H4975 , and so built H1129 . And he that sounded H8628 the trumpet H7782 was by H681 me .
19 And I said H559 W-VQY1MS unto H413 PREP the nobles H2715 , and to H413 PREP the rulers H5461 , and to H413 PREP the rest H3499 of the people H5971 , The work H4399 is great H7235 VHFA and large H7342 W-AFS , and we H587 are separated H6504 upon H5921 PREP the wall H2346 , one H376 NMS far H7350 from another H251 .
20 In what H834 RPRO place H4725 B-CMS therefore ye hear H8085 the sound H6963 CMS of the trumpet H7782 , resort H6908 ye thither H8033 ADV-3FS unto H413 us : our God H430 shall fight H3898 for us .
21 So we H587 labored H6213 in the work H4399 : and half H2677 of them held H2388 the spears H7420 from the rising H5927 of the morning H7837 D-NMS till H5704 PREP the stars H3556 D-AMP appeared H3318 .
22 Likewise H1571 CONJ at the same H1931 time H6256 said H559 VQQ1MS I unto the people H5971 , Let every one H376 NMS with his servant H5288 lodge H3885 VQY3MP within H8432 B-NMS Jerusalem H3389 , that in the night H3915 D-AMS they may be H1961 a guard H4929 to us , and labor H4399 on the day H3117 .
23 So neither H369 W-NPAR I H589 PPRO-1MS , nor my brethren H251 , nor my servants H5288 , nor the men H376 NMS of the guard H4929 which H834 RPRO followed H310 me , none H369 NPAR of us H587 PPRO-1MP put off H6584 our clothes H899 , saving that every one H376 NMS put them off H7971 for washing H4325 D-OMD .
