← Nehemiah 4:6	Nehemiah 4:7 (KJV)	Nehemiah 4:8 →
So built we the wall; and all the wall was joined together unto the half thereof: for the people had a mind to work.	But it came to pass, [that] when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and the Arabians, and the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites, heard that the walls of Jerusalem were made up, [and] that the breaches began to be stopped, then they were very wroth,	And conspired all of them together to come [and] to fight against Jerusalem, and to hinder it.
