Nehemiah 4:2
Brenton's English Septuagint · Berean Standard Bible
And he said before his brethren (that [is] the army of the Samaritans) [Is it true] that these Jews are building their city? do they indeed offer sacrifices? will they prevail? and will they this day restore the stones, after they have been burnt and made a heap of rubbish?
before his associates and the army of Samaria, saying, “What are these feeble Jews doing? Can they restore the wall by themselves (note: Or Will they commit themselves to God?)? Will they offer sacrifices? Will they complete it in a day? Can they bring these burnt stones back to life from the mounds of rubble?”
