Nehemiah 4:9 in Context — Nehemiah 4
7 E foi que, quando Sambalate e Tobias, e os árabes, os amonitas, e os de Asdode, ouviram que os muros de Jerusalém estavam sendo reparados, que as brechas já começavam a serem fechadas, eles ficaram muito irados.
8 E todos conspiraram entre si para virem guerrear contra Jerusalém, e causarem confusão nela.
9 Porém nós oramos a nosso Deus; e pusemos guarda contra eles, dia e noite, por causa deles.
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.
