Nehemiah 2:18-20
New American Standard Bible
18 And I told them how the hand of my God had been favorable to me and also about the king’s words which he had spoken to me. Then they said, “Let’s arise and build.” (A)So they put their hands to the good work. 19 But when Sanballat the Horonite and Tobiah the Ammonite [a]official, and (B)Geshem the Arab heard about it, (C)they mocked us and despised us, and said, “What is this thing that you are doing? (D)Are you rebelling against the king?” 20 So I answered them and said to them, “(E)The God of heaven will make us successful; therefore we His servants will arise and build, (F)but you have no part, right, or memorial in Jerusalem.”

Nehemiah 2:18-20
New International Version
18 I also told them about the gracious hand of my God on me(A) and what the king had said to me.
They replied, “Let us start rebuilding.” So they began this good work.
19 But when Sanballat(B) the Horonite, Tobiah the Ammonite official and Geshem(C) the Arab heard about it, they mocked and ridiculed us.(D) “What is this you are doing?” they asked. “Are you rebelling against the king?”
20 I answered them by saying, “The God of heaven will give us success. We his servants will start rebuilding,(E) but as for you, you have no share(F) in Jerusalem or any claim or historic right to it.”
