Nehemiah 4:6-11
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 4

6So we built the wall, and the entire wall was joined together to half its height, for the people had a mind to work.
7Now 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. 8So all of them conspired together to come to fight against Jerusalem and to cause confusion in it.
9But we prayed to our God, and because of them we set up a guard against them day and night.
10And so in Judah it was said: 'The strength of the burden bearers is failing, Yet there is much rubble; And we ourselves are unable To rebuild the wall.' 11And our enemies said, 'They will not know or see until we come among them, kill them, and put a stop to the work.'
King James Version

Chapter 4

6So built we the wall; and all the wall was joined together unto the half thereof: for the people had a mind to work.
7But it came to pass, that when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and the Arabians, and the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites, heard that the walls of Jerusalem were made up, and that the breaches began to be stopped, then they were very wroth, 8And conspired all of them together to come and to fight against Jerusalem, and to hinder it. 9Nevertheless we made our prayer unto our God, and set a watch against them day and night, because of them. 10And 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.
11And our adversaries said, They shall not know, neither see, till we come in the midst among them, and slay them, and cause the work to cease.
Christian Standard Bible

Chapter 4

6So we rebuilt the wall until the entire wall was joined together up to half its height, for the people had the will to keep working.
7When Sanballat, Tobiah, and the Arabs, Ammonites, and Ashdodites heard that the repair to the walls of Jerusalem was progressing and that the gaps were being closed, they became furious. 8They all plotted together to come and fight against Jerusalem and throw it into confusion. 9So we prayed to our God and stationed a guard because of them day and night.
10In Judah, it was said: The strength of the laborer fails, since there is so much rubble. We will never be able to rebuild the wall.
11And our enemies said, "They won’t realize it until we’re among them and can kill them and stop the work."
New Living Translation

Chapter 4

6At last the wall was completed to half its height around the entire city, for the people had worked with enthusiasm.
7But when Sanballat and Tobiah and the Arabs, Ammonites, and Ashdodites heard that the work was going ahead and that the gaps in the wall of Jerusalem were being repaired, they were furious. 8They all made plans to come and fight against Jerusalem and throw us into confusion. 9But we prayed to our God and guarded the city day and night to protect ourselves.
10Then the people of Judah began to complain, 'The workers are getting tired, and there is so much rubble to be moved. We will never be able to build the wall by ourselves.'
11Meanwhile, our enemies were saying, 'Before they know what’s happening, we will swoop down on them and kill them and end their work.'
English Standard Version

Chapter 4

6So we built the wall. And all the wall was joined together to half its height, for the people had a mind to work.
7But when Sanballat and Tobiah and the Arabs and the Ammonites and the Ashdodites heard that the repairing of the walls of Jerusalem was going forward and that the breaches were beginning to be closed, they were very angry. 8And they all plotted together to come and fight against Jerusalem and to cause confusion in it. 9And we prayed to our God and set a guard as a protection against them day and night.
10In Judah it was said, "The strength of those who bear the burdens is failing. There is too much rubble. By ourselves we will not be able to rebuild the wall." 11And our enemies said, "They will not know or see till we come among them and kill them and stop the work."
New International Version

Chapter 4

6So we rebuilt the wall till all of it reached half its height, for the people worked with all their heart.
7But when Sanballat, Tobiah, the Arabs, the Ammonites and the people of Ashdod heard that the repairs to Jerusalem’s walls had gone ahead and that the gaps were being closed, they were very angry. 8They all plotted together to come and fight against Jerusalem and stir up trouble against it. 9But we prayed to our God and posted a guard day and night to meet this threat.
10Meanwhile, the people in Judah said, "The strength of the laborers is giving out, and there is so much rubble that we cannot rebuild the wall."
11Also our enemies said, "Before they know it or see us, we will be right there among them and will kill them and put an end to the work."
New King James Version

Chapter 4

6So we built the wall, and the entire wall was joined together up to half its height, for the people had a mind to work.
7Now it happened, when Sanballat, Tobiah, the Arabs, the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites heard that the walls of Jerusalem were being restored and the gaps were beginning to be closed, that they became very angry, 8and all of them conspired together to come and attack Jerusalem and create confusion. 9Nevertheless we made our prayer to our God, and because of them we set a watch against them day and night.
10Then Judah said, “The strength of the laborers is failing, and there is so much rubbish that we are not able to build the wall.”
11And our adversaries said, “They will neither know nor see anything, till we come into their midst and kill them and cause the work to cease.”
