Neemias 4:5

Listen to Neemias 4:5
5 Não cubras a sua iniquidade, e não se risque de diante de ti o seu pecado, pois que te provocaram � ira na presença dos edificadores.

Neemias 4:5 Meaning and Commentary

Nehemiah 4:5

And cover not their iniquity, and let not their sin be blotted
out from before thee
Let it not go unpunished, and even let it not be pardoned; which is spoken, not from a private spirit of revenge, but from a public spirit for the glory of God, and his justice; and not as a mere imprecation, but as a prophecy of what would be the case, in like manner as many of David's petitions in the Psalms; and for this there was a good foundation, since God had threatened the Moabites and Ammonites with utter destruction:

for they have provoked thee to anger before the builders;
by despising his people, and mocking at the work the Lord had called them to; and this they did publicly, and on purpose to discourage the workmen.

5 Não cubras a sua iniquidade, e não se risque de diante de ti o seu pecado, pois que te provocaram � ira na presença dos edificadores.
6 Assim edificamos o muro; e todo o muro se completou até a metade da sua altura; porque o coração do povo se inclinava a trabalhar.
7 Mas, ouvindo Sambalate e Tobias, e os arábios, o amonitas e os asdoditas, que ia avante a reparação dos muros de Jerusalém e que já as brechas se começavam a fechar, iraram-se sobremodo;
