In Judah, it was said: The strength of the laborer fails, since there is so much rubble. We will never be able to rebuild the wall.

犹大人说：“灰土尚多，扛抬的人力气已经衰败，所以我们不能建造城墙。”

但犹大有话说：“扛抬的人力气衰弱，瓦砾太多，我们自己不可能建造城墙。”

但犹大有话说：“扛抬的人力气衰弱，瓦砾太多，我们自己不可能建造城墙。”

犹大人说：“工人已经筋疲力尽，还有太多瓦砾有待清理，我们自己无法重建城墙。”

犹大人说：“搬运的人气力已经衰弱，但瓦砾仍多，我们不能再建城墙了！”

猶大人說：「灰土尚多，扛擡的人力氣已經衰敗，所以我們不能建造城牆。」

但猶大有話說：「扛抬的人力氣衰弱，瓦礫太多，我們自己不可能建造城牆。」

但猶大有話說：「扛抬的人力氣衰弱，瓦礫太多，我們自己不可能建造城牆。」

猶大人說：「工人已經精疲力盡，還有太多瓦礫有待清理，我們自己無法重建城牆。」

猶大人說：“搬運的人氣力已經衰弱，但瓦礫仍多，我們不能再建城牆了！”

猶大人說：『重苦力的力氣已經衰失，而灰土還多；所以就我們來說，我們是不能建造城牆的。』

Meanwhile, the people in Judah said,“ The strength of the laborers is giving out, and there is so much rubble that we cannot rebuild the wall.”

During that time, the people in Judah spoke up. They said,“ The workers are getting weaker and weaker all the time. Broken stones are piled up everywhere. They are in our way. So we can’t rebuild the wall.”

In Judah it was said,“ The strength of those who bear the burdens is failing. There is too much rubble. By ourselves we will not be able to rebuild the wall.”

Then the people of Judah began to complain,“ The workers are getting tired, and there is so much rubble to be moved. We will never be able to build the wall by ourselves.”

And so in Judah it was said:“ The strength of the burden bearers is failing, Yet there is much rubble; And we ourselves are unable To rebuild the wall.”

Then Judah said,“ The strength of the laborers is failing, and there is so much rubbish that we are not able to build the wall.”

And Judah said, The strength of the bearers of burdens is decayed, and there is much rubbish; so that we are not able to build the wall.

And Judah said, The strength of the bearers of burdens is decayed, and[ there is] much rubbish; so that we are not able to build the wall.

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

Judah said,“ The strength of the bearers of burdens is fading, and there is much rubble; so that we are not able to build the wall.”

“ Son of man, King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon made his army labor strenuously against Tyre. Every head was made bald and every shoulder chafed, but he and his army received no compensation from Tyre for the labor he expended against it.

But the men who had gone up with him responded,“ We can’t attack the people because they are stronger than we are!”

“ The LORD of Armies says this: These people say: The time has not come for the house of the LORD to be rebuilt.”

Solomon made 70,000 of them porters, 80,000 stonecutters in the mountains, and 3,600 supervisors to make the people work.

I have taken refuge in the LORD. How can you say to me,“ Escape to the mountains like a bird!For look, the wicked string bows; they put their arrows on bowstrings to shoot from the shadows at the upright in heart.

After they went up as far as Eshcol Valley and saw the land, they discouraged the Israelites from entering the land the LORD had given them.
