2He spoke in the presence of his brothers and athe 1wealthy men of Samaria and said, “What are these feeble Jews doing? Are they going to restore it for themselves? Can they offer sacrifices? Can they complete it in a day? Can they bring the stones to life from the 2,bdusty rubble, though they are burned?” 3Now Tobiah the Ammonite was near him and he said, “Even what they are buildingaif a fox should 1jump on it, he would break their stone wall down!”
4aHear, O our God, for we are despised! bReturn their reproach on their own heads and give them up for plunder in a land of captivity.
