Complete Jewish Bible

^3 (9) However, we prayed to our God and, because of them, organized a watch against them day and night. ^4 (10) Y’hudah was saying, “The strength of the people who carry loads away is starting to fail, and there is so much rubble that we can’t build the wall.” ^5 (11) Our enemies were saying, “They won’t know or see anything, until we have already infiltrated them and begun killing them and stopping the work.”
