Nehemiah 4:1-6 Now it came to pass, when Sanaballat heard that we were building the wall, that it was grievous to him, and he was very angry, and railed against the Jews.

CAB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Now it came to pass, when Sanaballat heard that we were building the wall, that it was grievous to him, and he was very angry, and railed against the Jews. ² And he said before his brothers (that is, the army of the Samaritans), Is it true that these Jews are building their city? Do they indeed offer sacrifices? Will they prevail? And will they this day restore the stones, after they have been burned and made a heap of rubbish? ³ And Tobiah the Ammonite came near to him, and said to them, Do they sacrifice or eat in their place? Shall not a fox go up and pull down their wall of stones? ⁴ Hear, O our God, for we have become a scorn; and return their reproach upon their own heads, and make them a scorn in a land of captivity, ⁵ and do not cover their iniquity. ⁶ (TEXT OMITTED)
