Nehemiah 4:12 in Context — Nehemiah 4
10 Cependant Juda disait: Les forces manquent à ceux qui portent les fardeaux, et les décombres sont considérables; nous ne pourrons pas bâtir la muraille.
11 Et nos ennemis disaient: Ils ne sauront et ne verront rien jusqu’à ce que nous arrivions au milieu d’eux; nous les tuerons, et nous ferons ainsi cesser l’ouvrage.
12 Or les Juifs qui habitaient près d’eux vinrent dix fois nous avertir, de tous les lieux d’où ils se rendaient vers nous.
13 C’est pourquoi je plaçai, dans les enfoncements derrière la muraille et sur des terrains secs, le peuple par familles, tous avec leurs épées, leurs lances et leurs arcs.
14 Je regardai, et m’étant levé, je dis aux grands, aux magistrats, et au reste du peuple: Ne les craignez pas! Souvenez-vous du Seigneur, grand et redoutable, et combattez pour vos frères, pour vos fils et vos filles, pour vos femmes et pour vos maisons!
