NASB
"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,""
— Nehemiah 4:12, NASB
“And it came to pass, that when the Jews which dwelt by them came, they said unto us ten times, From all places whence ye shall return unto us they will be upon you.”
“And it came to pass that, when the Jews that dwelt by them came, they said unto us ten times from all places, Ye must return unto us. ”
“It happened that when the Jews who lived by them came, they said to us ten times from all places, "Wherever you turn, they will attack us."”
“So it happened that the Jews who were living near them came and warned us repeatedly about all the schemes they were plotting against us.”
“And it came to pass, that when the Jews that dwelt by them came and told us ten times, out of all the places from whence they came to us,”
“And it came about that when the Jews who were living near them came, they said to us ten times, From all directions they are coming against us.”
“And it came to pass, that when the Jews which dwelt by them came, they said unto us ten times, From all places whence ye shall return unto us they will be upon you.”
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.
When I saw their fear, I rose and spoke to the nobles, the officials and the rest of the people: "Do not be afraid of them; remember the Lord who is great and awesome, and fight for your brothers, your sons, your daughters, your wives and your houses."
When our enemies heard that it was known to us, and that God had frustrated their plan, then all of us returned to the wall, each one to his work.
