And he that sounded8628 the trumpet7782 {was} by me0681. 4:13 And I said0559 unto the nobles2715, and to the rulers5461, and to the rest3499 of the people5971, The work4399 {is} great7235 and large7342, and we are separated6504 upon the wall2346, one0376 far from7350 another0251. 4:14 In what place4725 {therefore} ye hear8085 the sound6963 of the trumpet7782, resort6908 ye thither unto us: our God0430 shall fight3898 for us. 4:15 So we laboured6213 in the work4399: and half2677 of them held2388 the spears7420 from the rising5927 of the morning7837 till the stars3556 appeared3318. 4:16 Likewise at the same time6256 said0559 I unto the people5971, Let every one0376 with his servant5288 lodge3885 within8432 Jerusalem3389, that in the night3915 they may be a guard4929 to us, and labour4399 on the day3117. 4:17 So neither I, nor my brethren0251, nor my servants5288, nor the men0582 of the guard4929 which followed0310 me, none of us0587 put off6584 our clothes0899, {saving that} every one0376 put them off7973 for washing4325.
