But it came to pass, that when SanballatH5571 heardH8085 that we buildedH1129 the wallH2346, he was wrothH2734, and took greatH7235 indignationH3707, and mockedH3932 the JewsH3064.
And he spakeH559 beforeH6440 his brethrenH251 and the armyH2428 of SamariaH8111, and saidH559, What doH6213 these feebleH537 JewsH3064? will they fortifyH5800 themselves? will they sacrificeH2076? will they make an endH3615 in a dayH3117? will they reviveH2421 the stonesH68 out of the heapsH6194 of the rubbishH6083 which are burnedH8313? {fortify…: Heb. leave to themselves}
Now TobiahH2900 the AmmoniteH5984 was by himH681, and he saidH559, Even that which they buildH1129, if a foxH7776 go upH5927, he shall even break downH6555 their stoneH68 wallH2346.
HearH8085, O our GodH430; for we are despisedH939: and turnH7725 their reproachH2781 upon their own headH7218, and giveH5414 them for a preyH961 in the landH776 of captivityH7633: {despised: Heb. despite}
And coverH3680 not their iniquityH5771, and let not their sinH2403 be blotted outH4229 from beforeH6440 thee: for they have provoked thee to angerH3707 before the buildersH1129.
So builtH1129 we the wallH2346; and all the wallH2346 was joined togetherH7194 unto the halfH2677 thereof: for the peopleH5971 had a mindH3820 to workH6213.
But it came to pass, that when SanballatH5571, and TobiahH2900, and the ArabiansH6163, and the AmmonitesH5984, and the AshdoditesH796, heardH8085 that the wallsH2346 of JerusalemH3389 were made upH724+H5927, and that the breachesH6555 beganH2490 to be stoppedH5640, then they were veryH3966 wrothH2734, {were made up: Heb. ascended}
And conspiredH7194 all of them togetherH3162 to comeH935 and to fightH3898 against JerusalemH3389, and to hinderH6213+H8442 it. {to hinder…: Heb. to make an error to it}
Nevertheless we made our prayerH6419 unto our GodH430, and setH5975 a watchH4929 against them dayH3119 and nightH3915, becauseH6440 of them.
And JudahH3063 saidH559, The strengthH3581 of the bearers of burdensH5449 is decayedH3782, and there is muchH7235 rubbishH6083; so that we are not ableH3201 to buildH1129 the wallH2346.
And our adversariesH6862 saidH559, They shall not knowH3045, neither seeH7200, till we comeH935 in the midstH8432 amongH8432 them, and slayH2026 them, and cause the workH4399 to ceaseH7673.
And it came to pass, that when the JewsH3064 which dweltH3427 by themH681 cameH935, they saidH559 unto us tenH6235 timesH6471, From all placesH4725 whence ye shall returnH7725 unto us they will be upon you. {From all…: or, That from all places ye must return to us}
Therefore setH5975 I in the lowerH8482 placesH4725 behindH310 the wallH2346, and on the higher placesH6706+H6708, I even setH5975 the peopleH5971 after their familiesH4940 with their swordsH2719, their spearsH7420, and their bowsH7198. {in the…: Heb. from the lower parts of the place, etc}
And I lookedH7200, and rose upH6965, and saidH559 unto the noblesH2715, and to the rulersH5461, and to the restH3499 of the peopleH5971, Be not ye afraidH3372 of themH6440: rememberH2142 the LordH136, which is greatH1419 and terribleH3372, and fightH3898 for your brethrenH251, your sonsH1121, and your daughtersH1323, your wivesH802, and your housesH1004.
And it came to pass, when our enemiesH341 heardH8085 that it was knownH3045 unto us, and GodH430 had broughtH6565 their counselH6098 to noughtH6565, that we returnedH7725 all of us to the wallH2346, every oneH376 unto his workH4399.
And it came to pass from that timeH3117 forth, that the halfH2677 of my servantsH5288 wroughtH6213 in the workH4399, and the other halfH2677 of them heldH2388 both the spearsH7420, the shieldsH4043, and the bowsH7198, and the habergeonsH8302; and the rulersH8269 were behindH310 all the houseH1004 of JudahH3063.
They which buildedH1129 on the wallH2346, and they that bareH5375 burdensH5447, with those that ladedH6006, every one with oneH259 of his handsH3027 wroughtH6213 in the workH4399, and with the otherH259 hand heldH2388 a weaponH7973.
For the buildersH1129, every oneH376 had his swordH2719 girdedH631 by his sideH4975, and so buildedH1129. And he that soundedH8628 the trumpetH7782 was by meH681. {by his side: Heb. on his loins}
And I saidH559 unto the noblesH2715, and to the rulersH5461, and to the restH3499 of the peopleH5971, The workH4399 is greatH7235 and largeH7342, and we are separatedH6504 upon the wallH2346, oneH376 far fromH7350 anotherH251.
In what placeH4725 therefore ye hearH8085 the soundH6963 of the trumpetH7782, resortH6908 ye thither unto us: our GodH430 shall fightH3898 for us.
So we labouredH6213 in the workH4399: and halfH2677 of them heldH2388 the spearsH7420 from the risingH5927 of the morningH7837 till the starsH3556 appearedH3318.
Likewise at the same timeH6256 saidH559 I unto the peopleH5971, Let every oneH376 with his servantH5288 lodgeH3885 withinH8432 JerusalemH3389, that in the nightH3915 they may be a guardH4929 to us, and labourH4399 on the dayH3117.
So neither I, nor my brethrenH251, nor my servantsH5288, nor the menH582 of the guardH4929 which followedH310 me, none of usH587 put offH6584 our clothesH899, saving that every oneH376 put them offH7973 for washingH4325. {saving…: or, every one went with his weapon for water}

Only rebelH4775 not ye against the LORDH3068, neither fearH3372 ye the peopleH5971 of the landH776; for they are breadH3899 for us: their defenceH6738 is departedH5493 from them, and the LORDH3068 is with us: fearH3372 them not. {defence: Heb. shadow}
Some trust in chariotsH7393, and some in horsesH5483: but we will rememberH2142 the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430.
And saidH559, I beseechH577 thee, O LORDH3068 GodH430 of heavenH8064, the greatH1419 and terribleH3372 GodH410, that keepethH8104 covenantH1285 and mercyH2617 for them that loveH157 him and observeH8104 his commandmentsH4687:
Be of good courageH2388, and let us play the menH2388 for our peopleH5971, and for the citiesH5892 of our GodH430: and the LORDH3068 doH6213 that which seemethH5869 him goodH2896.
BeholdH7200, the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 hath setH5414 the landH776 beforeH6440 thee: go upH5927 and possessH3423 it, as the LORDH3068 GodH430 of thy fathersH1 hath saidH1696 unto thee; fearH3372 not, neither be discouragedH2865.
And I saidH559, This is my infirmityH2470: but I will remember the yearsH8141 of the right handH3225 of the most HighH5945.
I will rememberH2142+H2142 the worksH4611 of the LORDH3050: surely I will rememberH2142 thy wondersH6382 of oldH6924.
I will meditateH1897 also of all thy workH6467, and talkH7878 of thy doingsH5949.
Thy wayH1870, O GodH430, is in the sanctuaryH6944: who is so greatH1419 a GodH410 as our GodH430?
Thou art the GodH410 that doestH6213 wondersH6382: thou hast declaredH3045 thy strengthH5797 among the peopleH5971.
Thou hast with thine armH2220 redeemedH1350 thy peopleH5971, the sonsH1121 of JacobH3290 and JosephH3130. SelahH5542.
The watersH4325 sawH7200 thee, O GodH430, the watersH4325 sawH7200 thee; they were afraidH2342: the depthsH8415 also were troubledH7264.
The cloudsH5645 poured outH2229 waterH4325: the skiesH7834 sent outH5414 a soundH6963: thine arrowsH2687 also went abroadH1980. {poured…: Heb. were poured forth with water}
The voiceH6963 of thy thunderH7482 was in the heavenH1534: the lightningsH1300 lightenedH215 the worldH8398: the earthH776 trembledH7264 and shookH7493.
Thy wayH1870 is in the seaH3220, and thy pathH7635 in the greatH7227 watersH4325, and thy footstepsH6119 are not knownH3045.
Thou leddestH5148 thy peopleH5971 like a flockH6629 by the handH3027 of MosesH4872 and AaronH175.
For the LORDH3068 your GodH430 is GodH430 of godsH430, and LordH113 of lordsH113, a greatH1419 GodH410, a mightyH1368, and a terribleH3372, which regardethH5375 not personsH6440, nor takethH3947 rewardH7810:
I rememberH2142 the daysH3117 of oldH6924; I meditateH1897 on all thy worksH6467; I museH7878 on the workH4639 of thy handsH3027.
Fair weatherH2091 comethH857 out of the northH6828: with GodH433 is terribleH3372 majestyH1935. {Fair…: Heb. Gold}
The LORDH3068 your GodH430 which goethH1980 beforeH6440 you, he shall fightH3898 for you, according to all that he didH6213 for you in EgyptH4714 before your eyesH5869;
I, even I, am he that comfortethH5162 you: who art thou, that thou shouldest be afraidH3372 of a manH582 that shall dieH4191, and of the sonH1121 of manH120 which shall be madeH5414 as grassH2682;
By terrible thingsH3372 in righteousnessH6664 wilt thou answerH6030 us, O GodH430 of our salvationH3468; who art the confidenceH4009 of all the endsH7099 of the earthH776, and of them that are afar offH7350 upon the seaH3220:
And shall sayH559 unto them, HearH8085, O IsraelH3478, ye approachH7131 this dayH3117 unto battleH4421 against your enemiesH341: let not your heartsH3824 faintH7401, fearH3372 not, and do not trembleH2648, neither be ye terrifiedH6206 becauseH6440 of them; {faint: Heb. be tender} {tremble: Heb. make haste}
And forgettestH7911 the LORDH3068 thy makerH6213, that hath stretched forthH5186 the heavensH8064, and laid the foundationsH3245 of the earthH776; and hast fearedH6342 continuallyH8548 every dayH3117 becauseH6440 of the furyH2534 of the oppressorH6693, as ifH834 he were readyH3559 to destroyH7843? and where is the furyH2534 of the oppressorH6693? {were…: or, made himself ready}
SayH559 unto GodH430, How terribleH3372 art thou in thy worksH4639! through the greatnessH7230 of thy powerH5797 shall thine enemiesH341 submitH3584 themselves unto thee. {submit…: or, yield feigned obedience: Heb. lie}
For the LORDH3068 your GodH430 is he that goethH1980 with you, to fightH3898 for you against your enemiesH341, to saveH3467 you.
Then he rememberedH2142 the daysH3117 of oldH5769, MosesH4872, and his peopleH5971, saying, Where is he that brought them upH5927 out of the seaH3220 with the shepherdH7462 of his flockH6629? where is he that putH7760 his holyH6944 SpiritH7307 withinH7130 him? {shepherd: or, shepherds}
That ledH3212 them by the right handH3225 of MosesH4872 with his gloriousH8597 armH2220, dividingH1234 the waterH4325 beforeH6440 them, to makeH6213 himself an everlastingH5769 nameH8034?
That ledH3212 them through the deepH8415, as an horseH5483 in the wildernessH4057, that they should not stumbleH3782?
ComeH3212 and seeH7200 the worksH4659 of GodH430: he is terribleH3372 in his doingH5949 toward the childrenH1121 of menH120.
Have not I commandedH6680 thee? Be strongH2388 and of a good courageH553; be not afraidH6206, neither be thou dismayedH2865: for the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 is with thee whithersoever thou goestH3212.
OhH3863 that thou wouldest rendH7167 the heavensH8064, that thou wouldest come downH3381, that the mountainsH2022 might flow downH2151 at thy presenceH6440,
As when the meltingH2003 fireH784 burnethH6919, the fireH784 causeth the watersH4325 to boilH1158, to make thy nameH8034 knownH3045 to thine adversariesH6862, that the nationsH1471 may trembleH7264 at thy presenceH6440! {the melting…: Heb. the fire of meltings}
When thou didstH6213 terrible thingsH3372 which we lookedH6960 not for, thou camest downH3381, the mountainsH2022 flowed downH2151 at thy presenceH6440.
And he saidH559, HearkenH7181 ye, all JudahH3063, and ye inhabitantsH3427 of JerusalemH3389, and thou kingH4428 JehoshaphatH3092, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 unto you, Be not afraidH3372 nor dismayedH2865 by reasonH6440 of this greatH7227 multitudeH1995; for the battleH4421 is not yours, but God'sH430.
To morrowH4279 go ye downH3381 against them: behold, they come upH5927 by the cliffH4608 of ZizH6732; and ye shall findH4672 them at the endH5490 of the brookH5158, beforeH6440 the wildernessH4057 of JeruelH3385. {cliff: Heb. ascent} {brook: or, valley}
Ye shall not need to fightH3898 in thisH2063 battle: setH3320 yourselves, standH5975 ye still, and seeH7200 the salvationH3444 of the LORDH3068 with you, O JudahH3063 and JerusalemH3389: fearH3372 not, nor be dismayedH2865; to morrowH4279 go outH3318 againstH6440 them: for the LORDH3068 will be with you.
GodH410 is jealousH7072, and the LORDH3068 revengethH5358; the LORDH3068 revengethH5358, and is furiousH1167+H2534; the LORDH3068 will take vengeanceH5358 on his adversariesH6862, and he reservethH5201 wrath for his enemiesH341. {God…: or, The LORD is a jealous God, and a revenger, etc} {is furious: Heb. that hath fury}
The LORDH3068 is slowH750 to angerH639, and greatH1419 in powerH3581, and will not at allH5352 acquitH5352 the wicked: the LORDH3068 hath his wayH1870 in the whirlwindH5492 and in the stormH8183, and the cloudsH6051 are the dustH80 of his feetH7272.
He rebukethH1605 the seaH3220, and maketh it dryH2717, and drieth upH3001 all the riversH5104: BashanH1316 languishethH535, and CarmelH3760, and the flowerH6525 of LebanonH3844 languishethH535.
The mountainsH2022 quakeH7493 at him, and the hillsH1389 meltH4127, and the earthH776 is burnedH5375 at his presenceH6440, yea, the worldH8398, and all that dwellH3427 therein.
Who can standH5975 beforeH6440 his indignationH2195? and who can abideH6965 in the fiercenessH2740 of his angerH639? his furyH2534 is poured outH5413 like fireH784, and the rocksH6697 are thrown downH5422 by him. {abide: Heb. stand up}
The LORDH3068 is goodH2896, a strong holdH4581 in the dayH3117 of troubleH6869; and he knowethH3045 them that trustH2620 in him. {strong hold: or, strength}
Be strongH2388 and courageousH553, be not afraidH3372 nor dismayedH2865 forH6440 the kingH4428 of AssyriaH804, nor for all the multitudeH1995 that is with him: for there be moreH7227 with us than with him:
(ForG1063 they couldG5342 notG3756 endureG5342 that which was commandedG1291, And if so much asG2579 a beastG2342 touchG2345 the mountainG3735, it shall be stonedG3036, orG2228 thrust throughG2700 with a dartG1002:
A Psalm of DavidH1732. The LORDH3068 is my lightH216 and my salvationH3468; whom shall I fearH3372? the LORDH3068 is the strengthH4581 of my lifeH2416; of whom shall I be afraidH6342?
AndG2532 soG3779 terribleG5398 wasG2258 the sightG5324, that MosesG3475 saidG2036, I exceedingly fearG1630+G1510 andG2532 quakeG1790:)
WhereforeG1352 we receivingG3880 a kingdomG932 which cannot be movedG761, let us haveG2192 graceG5485, wherebyG1223+G3739 we may serveG3000 GodG2316 acceptablyG2102 withG3326 reverenceG127 andG2532 godly fearG2124: {let…: or, let us hold fast}
FearH3372 thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayedH8159; for I am thy GodH430: I will strengthenH553 thee; yea, I will helpH5826 thee; yea, I will upholdH8551 thee with the right handH3225 of my righteousnessH6664.
Behold, all they that were incensedH2734 against thee shall be ashamedH954 and confoundedH3637: they shall be as nothing; and theyH582 that striveH7379 with thee shall perishH6. {they that strive…: Heb. the men of thy strife}
Thou shalt seekH1245 them, and shalt not findH4672 them, even themH582 that contendedH4695 with thee: they that warH4421 against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of noughtH657. {them that…: Heb. the men of thy contention} {they…: Heb. the men of thy war}
For I the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 will holdH2388 thy right handH3225, sayingH559 unto thee, FearH3372 not; I will helpH5826 thee.
FearH3372 not, thou wormH8438 JacobH3290, and ye menH4962 of IsraelH3478; I will helpH5826 thee, saithH5002 the LORDH3068, and thy redeemerH1350, the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478. {men: or, few men}
