Then those pesky officials returned and mocked Nehemiah and the Jews working on the wall:
That is the most rubbish wall I’ve ever seen! Nobody sneeze, it might fall down!
But Nehemiah replied: I’m going to get the wall rebuilt!
Which really wound them up, so they plotted together to come and attack Jerusalem and cause chaos. But Nehemiah heard about their plans and put men on guard duty; everybody carried a weapon in case of attack, and the officials knew they has lost the element of surprise and backed down. Nehemiah said:
I’m going to get the wall rebuilt!
The wall-builders said: We are tired out! And there’s still rubble everywhere and loads of wall to build!
But Nehemiah replied: I’m going to get the wall rebuilt!
Then the Nehemiah’s people said: We’re hungry! We’re broke! We’re in debt!
So Nehemiah had to sort out their social and economic problems, but he said to himself:
I’m going to get the wall rebuilt!
