‏ Nehemiah 1:3

3 They said to me, “The remnant that remains from the exile there in the province are experiencing considerable ^{▼▼tn Heb “great.”} adversity and reproach. The wall of Jerusalem lies breached, and its gates have been burned down!” ^{▼▼tn Heb “have been burned with fire” (so also in Neh 2:17). The expression “burned with fire” is redundant in contemporary English; the translation uses “burned down” for stylistic reasons.}
