3 And Toḇiyah the Ammonite was beside him, and he said, “Whatever they build, if a fox should climb on it, he shall break down their stone wall.”
4 “Hear, O our Elohim, for we have become despised. And turn back their reproach on their own heads, and give them as a prey in a land of captivity!
5 “And do not cover over their crookedness, and do not let their sin be blotted out from before You, for they have provoked You before the builders.”
6 So we built the wall, and the entire wall was joined together up to the half of it, for the people had a heart to work.
7 And it came to be, when Sanballat and Toḇiyah, and the Araḇs, and the Ammonites, and the Ashdoḏites heard that the walls of Yerushalayim were being repaired and the broken places began to be filled, that they became very wroth,
8 and all of them conspired together to come to fight against Yerushalayim and to do harm to it.
9 But we prayed to our Elohim, and set a watch against them day and night, because of them.
