2And he said in the presence of his brothers and of the army of eSamaria, “What are these feeble Jews doing? Will they restore it for themselves?

3 gTobiah the Ammonite was beside him, and he said, “Yes, what they are buildinghif a fox goes up on it he will break down their stone wall!” 4 iHear, O our God, for we are despised. jTurn back their taunt on their own heads and give them up to be plundered in a land where they are captives. 5 kDo not cover their guilt, and let not their sin be blotted out from your sight, for they have provoked you to anger in the presence of the builders.

Psalms 123:3-4

3 lHave mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy upon us,

of the contempt of pthe proud.

Isaiah 10:13-14

13 qFor he says:

“By the strength of my hand I have done it,
and by my wisdom, for I have understanding;
I remove the boundaries of peoples,
and plunder their treasures;
like a bull I bring down those who sit on thrones.
14My hand has found like a nest
the wealth of the peoples;
and as one gathers eggs that have been forsaken,
so I have gathered all the earth;
and there was none that moved a wing
or opened the mouth or chirped.”
