Leeser⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁰ ^(4:4) And Judah said, The strength of the bearers of the burden is failing, and there is much rubbish; and we are not able to build on the wall. ¹¹ ^(4:5) And our adversaries said, “They shall not know, nor see until we come in the midst of them, and slay them, and so stop the work.” ¹² ^(4:6) And it came to pass, when the Jews who dwelt near them came, that they said unto us ten times, “From all places whence ye may return home they intend to come over us.” ¹³ ^(4:7) I placed therefore on the lower parts of the place on the naked rocks behind the wall—there I placed the people after their families with their swords, their spears, and their bows. ¹⁴ ^(4:8) And I looked about, and rose up, and said unto the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people, Be not afraid of them: think on the Lord, the great and terrible, and fight for your brethren, your sons, and your daughters, your wives, and your houses.
