Nehemiah 4:3 in Context — Nehemiah 4
1 Lorsque Sanballat apprit que nous rebâtissions la muraille, il fut en colère et très irrité.
2 Il se moqua des Juifs, et dit devant ses frères et devant les soldats de Samarie: A quoi travaillent ces Juifs impuissants? Les laissera-t-on faire? Sacrifieront-ils? Vont-ils achever? Redonneront-ils vie à des pierres ensevelies sous des monceaux de poussière et consumées par le feu?
3 Tobija, l’Ammonite, était à côté de lui, et il dit: Qu’ils bâtissent seulement! Si un renard s’élance, il renversera leur muraille de pierres!
4 Écoute, ô notre Dieu, comme nous sommes méprisés! Fais retomber leurs insultes sur leur tête, et livre-les au pillage sur une terre où ils soient captifs.
5 Ne pardonne pas leur iniquité, et que leur péché ne soit pas effacé de devant toi; car ils ont offensé ceux qui bâtissent.
