⁶ So we rebuilt the wall. We repaired it until all of it was half as high as we wanted it to be. The people worked with all their heart. ⁷ But Sanballat and Tobiah heard that Jerusalem's walls continued to be repaired. The Arabs and some people from Ammon heard the same thing. Some men from Ashdod heard about it too. They heard that the gaps in the wall were being filled in. So they burned with anger. ⁸ All of them made evil plans to come and fight against Jerusalem. They wanted to stir up trouble against it. ⁹ But we prayed to our God. We put guards on duty day and night to watch out for danger.
