And cover not their iniquity, and let not their sin be blotted out from before thee: for they have provoked thee to anger before the builders.

Verse 5 is found in chapter 4 of Nehemiah. Nehemiah responds to hostility through prayer while the people continue building the wall. The text shows that prayer does not replace work: the community continues building while entrusting the conflict to God. Verbal opposition fails to stop the progress.

Unsre Widersacher aber gedachten: Sie sollen's nicht wissen noch sehen, bis wir mitten unter sie kommen und sie erwürgen und das Werk hindern.
Y no cubras su iniquidad, ni su pecado sea raído delante de tu rostro; porque se airaron contra los que edificaban.
No cubras su iniquidad ni sea borrado su pecado de delante de ti, porque han provocado ira delante de los constructores».
Ne pardonne pas leur iniquité, et que leur péché ne soit pas effacé de devant toi; car ils ont offensé ceux qui bâtissent.
e non ricoprir la loro iniquità, e non sia il lor peccato cancellato dal tuo cospetto; perciocchè hanno fatto dispetto a quelli che edificavano, stando dirincontro a loro.
E não cubras a sua iniqüidade, e não se risque de diante de ti o seu pecado, pois que te irritaram na presença dos edificadores.
不要遮掩他們的罪孽,不要使他們的罪惡從你面前塗去,因為他們在修造的人前面惹你發怒。
