4And Judah said, The strength of the enemies is broken, yet there is much rubbish, and we shall not be able to build the wall.
5And they that afflicted us said, They shall not know, and they shall not see, until we come into the midst of them, and slay them, and cause the work to cease.
— Ezra-Nehemiah (2 Esdras) 14:6 —
7So I set men in the lowest part of the place behind the wall in the lurking places, I even set the people according to their families, with their swords, their spears, and their bows.
8And I looked, and arose, and said to the nobles, and to the captains, and to the rest of the people, Be not afraid of them: remember our great and terrible God, and fight for your brethren, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your houses.
