Nehemja 2:17

Men nu sade jag till dem: »I sen själva i vilken nöd vi äro, huru Jerusalem ligger öde, och huru dess portar äro uppbrända i eld. Välan då, låt oss bygga upp Jerusalems mur, för att vi icke längre må vara till smälek.»

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then said I unto them,.... The priests and princes of the Jews:

you see the distress that we are in; lie open to our enemies, and exposed to their insults:

how Jerusalem lieth waste, and the gates thereof are burnt with fire, Nehemiah 1:3,

come, and let us build up the wall of Jerusalem that we be no more a reproach; to their neighbours about them, who scoffed at them as a defenceless people and frequently came in upon them, and spoiled and plundered them of their goods and substance.
