Nehemías 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.

Nehemías 4:5 In-Context

3 Y Tobías el amonita, que estaba junto a él, añadió:—¡Hasta una zorra, si se sube a ese montón de piedras, lo echa abajo!
4 Por eso oramos:«¡Escucha, Dios nuestro,cómo se burlan de nosotros!Haz que sus ofensas recaigan sobre ellos mismos:entrégalos a sus enemigos;¡que los lleven en cautiverio!
5 No pases por alto su maldadni olvides sus pecados,porque insultan a los que reconstruyen».
6 Continuamos con la reconstrucción y levantamos la muralla hasta media altura, pues el pueblo trabajó con entusiasmo.
7 Pero cuando Sambalat y Tobías, y los árabes, los amonitas y los asdodeos se enteraron de que avanzaba la reconstrucción de la muralla y de que ya estábamos cerrando las brechas, se enojaron muchísimo
