But it came to pass,[ that] when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and the Arabians, and the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites, heard that the walls of Jerusalem were made up,[ and] that the breaches began to be stopped, then they were very wroth,

Now it came to pass, when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and Geshem the Arabian, and the rest of our enemies, heard that I had builded the wall, and[ that] there was no breach left therein;( though at that time I had not set up the doors upon the gates;)

For thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast clapped[ thine] hands, and stamped with the feet, and rejoiced in heart with all thy despite against the land of Israel;Behold, therefore I will stretch out mine hand upon thee, and will deliver thee for a spoil to the heathen; and I will cut thee off from the people, and I will cause thee to perish out of the countries: I will destroy thee; and thou shalt know that I[ am] the LORD.Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because that Moab and Seir do say, Behold, the house of Judah[ is] like unto all the heathen;

Moreover ye see and hear, that not alone at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul hath persuaded and turned away much people, saying that they be no gods, which are made with hands:So that not only this our craft is in danger to be set at nought; but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana should be despised, and her magnificence should be destroyed, whom all Asia and the world worshippeth.

Wrath[ is] cruel, and anger[ is] outrageous; but who[ is] able to stand before envy?

And before this, Eliashib the priest, having the oversight of the chamber of the house of our God,[ was] allied unto Tobiah:

But it came to pass, that when Sanballat heard that we builded the wall, he was wroth, and took great indignation, and mocked the Jews.And he spake before his brethren and the army of Samaria, and said, What do these feeble Jews? will they fortify themselves? will they sacrifice? will they make an end in a day? will they revive the stones out of the heaps of the rubbish which are burned?Now Tobiah the Ammonite[ was] by him, and he said, Even that which they build, if a fox go up, he shall even break down their stone wall.

The nations shall see and be confounded at all their might: they shall lay[ their] hand upon[ their] mouth, their ears shall be deaf.They shall lick the dust like a serpent, they shall move out of their holes like worms of the earth: they shall be afraid of the LORD our God, and shall fear because of thee.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.Peace be within thy walls,[ and] prosperity within thy palaces.For my brethren and companions’ sakes, I will now say, Peace[ be] within thee.Because of the house of the LORD our God I will seek thy good.

Then the people of the land weakened the hands of the people of Judah, and troubled them in building,And hired counsellors against them, to frustrate their purpose, all the days of Cyrus king of Persia, even until the reign of Darius king of Persia.And in the reign of Ahasuerus, in the beginning of his reign, wrote they[ unto him] an accusation against the inhabitants of Judah and Jerusalem.And in the days of Artaxerxes wrote Bishlam, Mithredath, Tabeel, and the rest of their companions, unto Artaxerxes king of Persia; and the writing of the letter[ was] written in the Syrian tongue, and interpreted in the Syrian tongue.Rehum the chancellor and Shimshai the scribe wrote a letter against Jerusalem to Artaxerxes the king in this sort:Then[ wrote] Rehum the chancellor, and Shimshai the scribe, and the rest of their companions; the Dinaites, the Apharsathchites, the Tarpelites, the Apharsites, the Archevites, the Babylonians, the Susanchites, the Dehavites,[ and] the Elamites,And the rest of the nations whom the great and noble Asnappar brought over, and set in the cities of Samaria, and the rest[ that are] on this side the river, and at such a time.This[ is] the copy of the letter that they sent unto him,[ even] unto Artaxerxes the king; Thy servants the men on this side the river, and at such a time.Be it known unto the king, that the Jews which came up from thee to us are come unto Jerusalem, building the rebellious and the bad city, and have set up the walls[ thereof], and joined the foundations.Be it known now unto the king, that, if this city be builded, and the walls set up[ again, then] will they not pay toll, tribute, and custom, and[ so] thou shalt endamage the revenue of the kings.Now because we have maintenance from[ the king’s] palace, and it was not meet for us to see the king’s dishonour, therefore have we sent and certified the king;That search may be made in the book of the records of thy fathers: so shalt thou find in the book of the records, and know that this city[ is] a rebellious city, and hurtful unto kings and provinces, and that they have moved sedition within the same of old time: for which cause was this city destroyed.We certify the king that, if this city be builded[ again], and the walls thereof set up, by this means thou shalt have no portion on this side the river.[ Then] sent the king an answer unto Rehum the chancellor, and[ to] Shimshai the scribe, and[ to] the rest of their companions that dwell in Samaria, and[ unto] the rest beyond the river, Peace, and at such a time.The letter which ye sent unto us hath been plainly read before me.And I commanded, and search hath been made, and it is found that this city of old time hath made insurrection against kings, and[ that] rebellion and sedition have been made therein.There have been mighty kings also over Jerusalem, which have ruled over all[ countries] beyond the river; and toll, tribute, and custom, was paid unto them.Give ye now commandment to cause these men to cease, and that this city be not builded, until[ another] commandment shall be given from me.Take heed now that ye fail not to do this: why should damage grow to the hurt of the kings?Now when the copy of king Artaxerxes’ letter[ was] read before Rehum, and Shimshai the scribe, and their companions, they went up in haste to Jerusalem unto the Jews, and made them to cease by force and power.

I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as servants upon the earth.

The wicked shall see[ it], and be grieved; he shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.

I will bear the indignation of the LORD, because I have sinned against him, until he plead my cause, and execute judgment for me: he will bring me forth to the light,[ and] I shall behold his righteousness.Then[ she that is] mine enemy shall see[ it], and shame shall cover her which said unto me, Where is the LORD thy God? mine eyes shall behold her: now shall she be trodden down as the mire of the streets.

My heart shall cry out for Moab; his fugitives[ shall flee] unto Zoar, an heifer of three years old: for by the mounting up of Luhith with weeping shall they go it up; for in the way of Horonaim they shall raise up a cry of destruction.
