Nehemiah 4:9
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
So we prayed to our God and posted a guard against them day and night.
In context
7 When Sanballat and Tobiah, together with the Arabs, Ammonites, and Ashdodites, heard that the repair to the walls of Jerusalem was progressing and that the gaps were being closed, they were furious,
8 and all of them conspired to come and fight against Jerusalem and create a hindrance.
9 So we prayed to our God and posted a guard against them day and night.
10 Meanwhile, the people of Judah said: “The strength of the laborer fails, and there is so much rubble that we will never be able to rebuild the wall.”
11 And our enemies said, “Before they know or see a thing, we will come into their midst, kill them, and put an end to the work.”
