Nehemiah 4:3 in Context — Nehemiah 4
1 E foi que, quando Sambalate ouviu que nós edificávamos o muro, ele se indignou muito, e escarneceu dos judeus.
2 E falou diante de seus irmãos e do exército de Samaria, dizendo: O que fazem estes fracos judeus? Será isso lhes permitido? Farão eles sacrifícios? Acabarão isso algum dia? Ressuscitarão dos amontoados de entulho as pedras que foram queimadas?
3 E com ele estava Tobias, o amonita, que disse: Ainda que edifiquem, contudo, se uma raposa vier, ela [sozinha] será capaz de derrubar seu muro de pedra.
4 Ouve, ó Deus nosso, que somos desprezados, e devolve a humilhação deles sobre suas cabeças; e entrega-os para o despojo, na terra do cativeiro;
5 E não cubras a perversidade deles, nem o pecado deles seja riscado diante de teu rosto; pois provocaram à ira diante dos construtores.
