Quando tutti i nostri nemici lo vennero a sapere e tutte le nazioni che ci stavano attorno lo videro, si sentirono grandemente abbattuti, perch si resero conto che questopera si era compiuta con laiuto del nostro DIO.
E, quando tutti i nostri nemici ebbero ciò inteso, e tutte le nazioni ch’erano d’intorno a noi l’ebber veduto, si videro grandemente scaduti; e riconobbero che quest’opera era stata fatta dall’Iddio nostro.
Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
when all our enemies: Nehemiah 2:10, Nehemiah 4:1, Nehemiah 4:7, Nehemiah 6:1, Nehemiah 6:2
for they perceived: Exodus 14:25, Numbers 23:23, Joshua 5:1, Psalms 126:2, Acts 5:38
Reciprocal: Esther 7:6 - was afraid Jeremiah 33:9 - fear
Gill's Notes on the Bible
And it came to pass, that when all our enemies heard thereof,.... That the wall was finished:
and all the Heathen that were about us saw these things; the neighbouring nations, who not only heard with their ears, but saw with their eyes what was done:
they were much cast down in their own eyes; through shame and confusion, because of their own scoffs and jeers; through grief and vexation at the unexpected success of the Jews, and through the fear of them that was fallen upon them, as Jarchi notes:
for they perceived that this work was wrought of our God; his special providence and blessing attending it, as appeared by its being so soon effected.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 16. This work was wrought of our God. — This is an additional reason why we should not wonder at the shortness of the time in which so great a work was done, for God helped them by an especial providence; and this was so very observable, that their carnal enemies could discover it.
