1 But when Sanaballat hearde that we buylded the wall, he was wroth in him selfe, and toke great indignation, and mocked the Iewes: 2 And sayde before his brethren and the souldiers of Samaria: what do these impotent Iewes? will the heathen suffer them? shall they offer? shal they perfourme it in one day? shal they make the stones whole againe that are brought to dust and brent? 3 And Tobiah the Ammonite was beside him, and sayde: Though they buyld, yet if a foxe go vp, he shall breake downe their stony wall. 4 Heare O thou our God, for we are despised, turne their shame vpon their owne head, & geue them ouer into despising in the lande of their captiuitie.
