⁹ But because of them we made our prayer to our God and set a watch against them day and night. ¹⁰ And Judah said, The strength of the burden bearers is weakening, and there is much rubbish; we are not able to work on the wall. ¹¹ And our enemies said, They will not know or see till we come into their midst and kill them and stop the work. ¹² And when the Jews who lived near them came, they said to us ten times, You must return ; from all places where they dwell they will be upon us. ¹³ So I set behind the wall in places where it was least protected; I even thus used the people as families with their swords, spears, and bows. ¹⁴ I looked and rose up and said to the nobles and officials and the other people, Do not be afraid of the enemy; remember the Lord and imprint Him , great and terrible, and fight for your brethren, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your homes. ¹⁵ And when our enemies heard that their plot was known to us and that God had frustrated their purpose, we all returned to the wall, everyone to his work. ¹⁶ And from that time forth, half of my servants worked at the task, and the other half held the spears, shields, bows, and coats of mail; and the leaders stood behind all the house of Judah.
