Wysłuchajże Boże nasz, bociechmy są wzgardzonemi, a obróć pohańbienie na głowę ich, a uczyń je wzgardzonemi w ziemi, do której zagnani będą.
Przysłuchaj się temu, nasz Boże, bo jesteśmy w pogardzie! Skieruj te obelgi na ich własne głowy. Wydaj ich na łup na wygnaniu!
Wysłuchaj, o Boże; bowiem jesteśmy wzgardzeni! Odwróć ich urąganie na ich głowę i daj ich na łup w ziemi niewoli!
Wysłuchajże, o Boże nasz! bośmy wzgardzeni, a obróć pohańbienie ich na głowę ich, a daj ich na łup w ziemi niewoli.
Wysłuchaj, nasz Boże, bo jesteśmy wzgardzeni, i odwróć ich zhańbienie na ich głowę, i wydaj ich na łup w ziemi niewoli.
Słuchaj, Boże nasz, w jakiej jesteśmy pogardzie! Spraw, by ich urąganie spadło na ich własne głowy! Wydaj ich na łup w ziemi niewoli.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Hear, O our God, for we are despised,.... Here begins the prayer of Nehemiah, who had been informed of what these men said in contempt of him, and his builders, and to whom he sent no answer, but applied to God:
and turn their reproach upon their own head; as they have despised and reproached us, let them be despised and reproached by their neighbours:
give them for a prey in the land of captivity; let them be carried captive, as we have been, and become a prey and booty to their enemies.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The parenthetical prayers of Nehemiah form one of the most striking characteristics of his history. Here we have the first. Other examples are Nehemiah 5:19; Nehemiah 6:9, Nehemiah 6:14; Nehemiah 13:14, Nehemiah 13:22, Nehemiah 13:29, Nehemiah 13:31.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Nehemiah 4:4. Turn their reproach upon their own head — A prayer of this kind, understood literally, is not lawful for any Christian. Jesus, our great master, has said, "Love your enemies; do good to them that hate you; and pray for them that despitefully use you." Such sayings as the above are excusable in the mouth of a Jew, under severe irritation. See the next verse.
