Nehemiah 6:15

---

← Nehemiah 6:14	Nehemiah 6:15 (KJV)	Nehemiah 6:16 →
My God, think thou upon Tobiah and Sanballat according to these their works, and on the prophetess Noadiah, and the rest of the prophets, that would have put me in fear.	So the wall was finished in the twenty and fifth [day] of [the month] Elul, in fifty and two days.	And it came to pass, that when all our enemies heard [thereof], and all the heathen that [were] about us saw [these things], they were much cast down in their own eyes: for they perceived that this work was wrought of our God.
