Keil & Delitzsch, on Neh 4:10
Keil & Delitzsch · 1861–1875
Neh 4:10 · Douay-Rheims
“And Juda said: The strength of the bearer of burdens is decayed, and the rubbish is very much, and we shall not be able to build the wall.”
On this verse:
“The placing of the watch day and night, and the continuous labour, must have pressed heavily upon the people; therefore Judah said: "The strength of the bearers of burdens fails, and there is much rubbish; we are not able to build the wall." That is to say, the labour is beyond our power, we cannot continue it.”
