Nehemiah 4

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.”

¹² At that time the Jews who lived nearby came and told us ten times over, “Wherever you turn, they will attack us.”

¹⁴ After I had made an inspection, I stood up and said to the nobles, the officials, and the rest of the people, “Do not be afraid of them. Remember the Lord, who is great and awesome, and fight for your brothers, your sons and your daughters, your wives and your homes.”
