- Also our enemies said, "Before they know it or see us, we will be right there among them and will kill them and put an end to the work."
- Then the Jews who lived near them came and told us ten times over, "Wherever you turn, they will attack us."
- Therefore I stationed some of the people behind the lowest points of the wall at the exposed places, posting them by families, with their swords, spears and bows.
- After I looked things over, I stood up and said to the nobles, the officials and the rest of the people, "Don't 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."
- When our enemies heard that we were aware of their plot and that God had frustrated it, we all returned to the wall, each to his own work.

- 我们的敌人且说,趁他们不知,不见,我们进入他们中间,杀他们,使工作止住。
- 那靠近敌人居住的犹大人,十次从各处来见我们,说,你们必要回到我们那里。
- 嚣以我使百姓各按宗族拿刀,拿枪,拿弓站在城墙后边低洼的空处。
- 我察看了,就起来对贵胄,官长,和其馀的人说,不要怕他们。当记念主是大而可畏的。你们要为弟兄,儿女,妻子,家产争战。
- 仇敌听见我们知道他们的心意,见神也破坏他们的计谋,就不来了。我们都回到城墙那里,各做各的工。
