And our adversaries said, They shall not know, neither see, till we come in the midst among them, and slay them, and cause the work to cease.

Verse 11 is found in chapter 4 of Nehemiah. The workers’ fatigue and the amount of rubble cause some to lose heart. In addition, reports of attacks from several directions emerge. Nehemiah reorganizes the people by families and positions and reminds them to trust in the Lord. The strategy transforms scattered fear into coordinated responsibility.

die da bauten an der Mauer. Und die da Last trugen von denen, die ihnen aufluden, mit einer Hand taten sie die Arbeit, und mit der andern hielten sie die Waffe.
Y nuestros enemigos dijeron: No sepan, ni vean, hasta que entremos en medio de ellos, y los matemos, y hagamos cesar la obra.
Nuestros adversarios dijeron: «No lo sabrán ni lo verán hasta que entremos en medio de ellos, los matemos y hagamos cesar la obra».
Et nos ennemis disaient: Ils ne sauront et ne verront rien jusqu'à ce que nous arrivions au milieu d'eux; nous les tuerons, et nous ferons ainsi cesser l'ouvrage.
Facciamo sì ch’essi non ne sappian nulla, e che non ci veggano, finchè non siamo entrati per mezzo loro; allora li uccideremo, e faremo cessar l’opera.
Disseram, porém, os nossos inimigos: Nada saberão disto, nem verão, até que entremos no meio deles, e os matemos; assim faremos cessar a obra.
我們的敵人說:「趁他們不知道,看不見的時候,我們進入他們中間,殺了他們,使工作停止。」
