Nehemiah 4:10-12

Modern English Version

¹⁰ Judah had said, “The strength of the burden bearers is failing though there is much rubble. And we ourselves are unable to rebuild the wall.”

¹¹ Our adversaries said, “They will neither know nor see until we have entered in among them and slain them. Indeed, we will stop the work!”

¹² When the Jews living near them came, they told us ten times, “From every place where you turn, they will be against us.”
