Nehemiah 4:8-12
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 4
8So all of them conspired together to come to fight against Jerusalem and to cause confusion in it.
10And so in Judah it was said: 'The strength of the burden bearers is failing, Yet there is much rubble; And we ourselves are unable To rebuild the wall.'
11And our enemies said, 'They will not know or see until we come among them, kill them, and put a stop to the work.'
12When the Jews who lived near them came and told us ten times, 'They will come up against us from every place where you may turn,'
King James Version
Chapter 4
8And conspired all of them together to come and to fight against Jerusalem, and to hinder it. 9Nevertheless we made our prayer unto our God, and set a watch against them day and night, because of them. 10And Judah said, The strength of the bearers of burdens is decayed, and there is much rubbish; so that we are not able to build the wall. 11And our adversaries said, They shall not know, neither see, till we come in the midst among them, and slay them, and cause the work to cease. 12And it came to pass, that when the Jews which dwelt by them came, they said unto us ten times, From all places whence ye shall return unto us they will be upon you.Christian Standard Bible

Chapter 4
8And they all plotted together to come and fight against Jerusalem and to cause confusion in it. 9And we prayed to our God and set a guard as a protection against them day and night.
10In Judah it was said, “The strength of those who bear the burdens is failing. There is too much rubble. By ourselves we will not be able to rebuild the wall.”
11And our enemies said, “They will not know or see till we come among them and kill them and stop the work.”
12At that time the Jews who lived near them came from all directions and said to us ten times, “You must return to us.”
