    8All of them conspired together to move with armed forces against Jerusalem and to create a disturbance in it.

    9So we prayed to our God and stationed a guard to protect against them both day and night.

    10Then those in Judah said,“The strength of the laborers has failed! The debris is so great that we are unable to rebuild the wall.”

    11Our adversaries also boasted,“Before they are aware or anticipate anything, we will come in among them and kill them, and we will bring this work to a halt!”

    13So I stationed people at the lower places behind the wall in the exposed places. I stationed the people by families, with their swords, spears, and bows.

    14When I had made an inspection, I stood up and said to the nobles, the officials, and the rest of the people,“Don’t be afraid of them. Remember the great and awesome Lord, and fight on behalf of your brothers, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your families!”

    19I said to the nobles, the officials, and the rest of the people,“The work is demanding and extensive, and we are spread out on the wall, far removed from one another.
