"Thus in Judah it was said, "The strength of the burden bearers is failing, Yet there is much rubbish; And we ourselves are unable To rebuild the wall.""
— Nehemiah 4:10, NASB
“And Judah said, The strength of the bearers of burdens is decayed, and there is much rubbish; so that we are not able to build the wall.”
“And Judah said, The strength of the bearers of burdens is decayed, and there is much rubbish; so that we are not able to build the wall. ”
“Judah said, "The strength of the bearers of burdens is fading, and there is much rubbish; so that we are not able to build the wall."”
“Then those in Judah said,“The strength of the laborers has failed! The debris is so great that we are unable to rebuild the wall.””
“And Juda said: The strength of the bearer of burdens is decayed, and the rubbish is very much, and we shall not be able to build the wall.”
“And Judah said, The strength of the workmen is giving way, and there is much waste material; it is impossible for us to put up the wall.”
“And Judah said, The strength of the bearers of burdens is decayed, and there is much rubbish; so that we are not able to build the wall.”
Now when Sanballat, Tobiah, the Arabs, the Ammonites and the Ashdodites heard that the repair of the walls of Jerusalem went on, and that the breaches began to be closed, they were very angry.
All of them conspired together to come and fight against Jerusalem and to cause a disturbance in it.
But we prayed to our God, and because of them we set up a guard against them day and night.
Thus in Judah it was said, "The strength of the burden bearers is failing, Yet there is much rubbish; And we ourselves are unable To rebuild the wall."
Our enemies said, "They will not know or see until we come among them, kill them and put a stop to the work."
When the Jews who lived near them came and told us ten times, "They will come up against us from every place where you may turn,"
then I stationed men in the lowest parts of the space behind the wall, the exposed places, and I stationed the people in families with their swords, spears and bows.
