Nehemiah 4:4-6

World English Bible

⁴ “Hear, our God, for we are despised. Turn back their reproach on their own head. Give them up for a plunder in a land of captivity. ⁵ Don’t cover their iniquity. Don’t let their sin be blotted out from before you; for they have insulted the builders.”

⁶ So we built the wall; and all the wall was joined together to half its height, for the people had a mind to work.
