Nehemiah 4:5-7

Expanded Bible

⁵ Do not ·hide [cover; ignore] their guilt or ·take away [blot out] their sins so that you can’t see them, because they have ·insulted [deeply offended; or demoralized] the builders.”

⁶ So we rebuilt [^Land connected/joined together] the wall to half its height, because the people were ·willing to [enthusiastic in their; ^Lhad a heart to] work.

⁷ But Sanballat, Tobiah, the Arabs, the Ammonites, and the people from Ashdod were very angry when they heard that the repairs to Jerusalem’s walls were continuing and that the ·holes [gaps; breaches] in the wall were being closed.
