Nehemiah 4:12 in Context — Nehemiah 4
10 Então Judá disse: As forças dos carregadores se enfraqueceram, e o entulho é muito; e nós não podemos reconstruir o muro.
11 Porém nossos inimigos diziam: Eles não saibam, nem vejam, até que entremos em meio deles, e os matemos; assim faremos cessar a obra.
12 E foi que, quando os judeus que habitavam entre eles vieram, dez vezes nos disseram: Por todos os lados para que virardes, [eles estão] contra nós.
13 Então pus [guardas] nos lugares baixos, atrás do muro, [e] nos lugares altos; e pus ao povo por [suas] famílias com suas espadas, suas lanças, e seus arcos.
14 Depois olhei, me levantei, e disse aos nobres, aos oficiais, e aos demais do povo: Não os temais; lembrai-vos do Senhor grande e temível, e lutai por vossos irmãos, por vossos filhos e vossas filhas, por vossas mulheres e vossas casas.
