Nehemiah 2:11-13

New Catholic Bible

¹¹ Nehemiah Inspects the Wall.^[a]When I arrived in Jerusalem, I rested there for three days. ¹² Then I set out by night with just a few other men. I revealed to no one what my God had inspired me to do for Jerusalem, and I took no animal with me other than the one I was riding.

¹³ I went forth by night through the Valley Gate toward the Dragon Spring as far as the Dung Gate, and I observed how the walls of Jerusalem lay in ruins with its gates destroyed by fire.
