Sanballat Mocks the Builders

Nehemiah 4:1-6

But when Sanballat heard that we builded the wall, then was he wroth and sore grieued, and mocked the Iewes,

And sayde before his brethren and the armie of Samaria, thus he sayde, What doe these weake Iewes? wil they fortifie them selues? wil they sacrifice? will they finish it in a day? will they make the stones whole againe out of the heapes of dust, seeing they are burnt?

And Tobiah the Ammonite was beside him, and said, Although they buylde, yet if a foxe goe vp, he shall euen breake downe their stonie wall.

Heare, O our God (for we are despised) and turne their shame vpon their owne head, and giue them vnto a pray in the lande of their captiuitie,

And couer not their iniquitie, neither let their sinne be put out in thy presence: for they haue prouoked vs before the builders.

So we built the wall, and all the wall was ioyned vnto the halfe thereof, and the heart of the people was to worke.
