Nehemiah 4:6 in context

  1. 4Hear, O our God; for we are despised: and turn back their reproach upon their own head, and give them up for a spoil in a land of captivity;
  2. 5and cover not their iniquity, and let not their sin be blotted out from before thee; for they have provoked thee to anger before the builders.
  3. 6So we built the wall; and all the wall was joined together unto half the height thereof: for the people had a mind to work.
  4. 7But 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, and that the breaches began to be stopped, then they were very wroth;
  5. 8and they conspired all of them together to come and fight against Jerusalem, and to cause confusion therein.
