Neh 4:3 · Douay-Rheims
“Tobias also the Ammonite who was by him said: Let them build: if a fox go up, he will leap over their stone wall.”
On this verse:
“Tobiah the Ammonite, standing near Sanballat, and joining in in his raillery, adds: "Even that which they build, if a fox go up he will break their stone wall;" i.e., even if they build up walls, the light footsteps of the stealthy fox will suffice to tread them down, and to make breaches in their work.”
