4 Hear, O our God, for we have become a contempt, and turn thou back their reproach upon their own head, - and give them up as a prey, in the land of captivity; 5 and do not cover their iniquity, and, their sin before thee, let it not be blotted out, - for they have caused vexation before them who are building. 6 So we built the wall, and all the wall was finished unto the half thereof, - -and the people had a mind to work.
