Nehemiah 4:5 in Context — Nehemiah 4
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.
6 Nous rebâtîmes la muraille, qui fut partout achevée jusqu’à la moitié de sa hauteur. Et le peuple prit à cœur ce travail.
7 Mais Sanballat, Tobija, les Arabes, les Ammonites et les Asdodiens, furent très irrités en apprenant que la réparation des murs avançait et que les brèches commençaient à se fermer.
