6Yet buylded we the wall, & ioyned it whole together, vnto ye halfe heigth. And the people were well mynded to labor.
7But whan Saneballat, & Tobias, and ye Arabias, & Ammonites, & A?dodites herde, yt the walles of Ierusalem were made vp, and that they had begonne to stoppe vp ye gappes, they were very wroth,
8and cospyred all together, to come and fight against Ierusalem, & to make an hinderaunce therin.
9Neuertheles we made or praier vnto oure God, & set watchme vpo the wall daye & night ouer against them.
10And Iuda saide: The stregth of the bearers is to feble, & there is to moch dust, we are not able to builde on the wall.
11And or aduersaries thought: They shall not knowe nether se, tyll we come in the myddes amonge the, and slaye them, & hynder ye worke.
12But whan the Iewes that dwelt besyde them, came out of all the places where they dwelt aboute vs, and tolde vs as good as te tymes,
13then set I the people after their kynreds with their swerdes, speares & bowes beneth in the lowe places behynde the wall,
14& loked, and gat me vp, and sayde vnto the chefe men and rulers, & to the other people: Be not ye afrayed of them, thynke vpon ye greate LORDE which ought to be feared, & fighte for yor brethren, sonnes, daughters, wyues, & houses.
15Neuertheles whan or enemies herde yt we had gotten worde of it, God broughte their councell to naughte, and we turned all againe to the wall, euery one vnto his labor.
