Nehemiah 4:5

²³Yet, LORD, you know all their counsel against me to kill me. Don’t forgive their iniquity. Don’t blot out their sin from your sight, Let them be overthrown before you. Deal with them in the time of your anger.

¹⁴Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered by the LORD. Don’t let the sin of his mother be blotted out.

²⁷Charge them with crime upon crime. Don’t let them come into your righteousness. ²⁸Let them be blotted out of the book of life, and not be written with the righteous.

¹⁴Alexander the coppersmith did much evil to me. The Lord will repay him according to his deeds.

²²I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, your transgressions, and, as a cloud, your sins. Return to me, for I have redeemed you.

¹Have mercy on me, God, according to your loving kindness. According to the multitude of your tender mercies, blot out my transgressions.

²⁵I, even I, am he who blots out your transgressions for my own sake; and I will not remember your sins.

⁵You, LORD God of Armies, the God of Israel, rouse yourself to punish the nations. Show no mercy to the wicked traitors. Selah. ⁶They return at evening, howling like dogs, and prowl around the city. ⁷Behold, they spew with their mouth. Swords are in their lips, “For”, they say, “who hears us?” ⁸But you, LORD, laugh at them. You scoff at all the nations. ⁹Oh, my Strength, I watch for you, for God is my high tower. ¹⁰My God will go before me with his loving kindness. God will let me look at my enemies in triumph. ¹¹Don’t kill them, or my people may forget. Scatter them by your power, and bring them down, Lord our shield. ¹²For the sin of their mouth, and the words of their lips, let them be caught in their pride, for the curses and lies which they utter. ¹³Consume them in wrath. Consume them, and they will be no more. Let them know that God rules in Jacob, to the ends of the earth. Selah.

⁹Hide your face from my sins, and blot out all of my iniquities.

¹¹Then Eliakim, Shebna and Joah said to Rabshakeh, “Please speak to your servants in Aramaic, for we understand it. Don’t speak to us in the Jews’ language in the hearing of the people who are on the wall.”

¹²But Rabshakeh said, “Has my master sent me only to your master and to you, to speak these words, and not to the men who sit on the wall, who will eat their own dung and drink their own urine with you?”
