Nehemiah 4:3-5

3 Now Tobiah the Ammonite was near him, and he said, “Even what they are building—(A)if a fox were to [a]jump on it, it would break their stone wall down!”
4 (B)Hear, O our God, how we are an object of contempt! (C)Return their taunting on their own heads, and turn them into plunder in a land of captivity. 5 Do not [b](D)forgive their guilt and do not let their sin be wiped out before You, for they have [c]demoralized the builders.
