Then said I unto them, Ye see the evil case that we are in, how Jerusalem lieth waste, and the gates thereof are burned with fire: come, and let us build up the wall of Jerusalem, that we be no more a reproach.

Then I said to them, You see what a bad condition we are in; how Jerusalem is a waste, and its doorways burned with fire: come, let us get to work, building up the wall of Jerusalem, so that we may no longer be put to shame.

Και ειπα προς αυτους, Σεις βλεπετε την δυστυχιαν εις την οποιαν ειμεθα, πως η Ιερουσαλημ κειται ηρημωμενη και αι πυλαι αυτης ειναι κατηναλωμεναι υπο του πυρος· ελθετε και ας ανοικοδομησωμεν το τειχος της Ιερουσαλημ, δια να μη ημεθα πλεον ονειδος.

Then said I unto them, Ye see the distress that we are in, how Jerusalem lieth waste, and the gates thereof are burned with fire: come, and let us build up the wall of Jerusalem, that we be no more a reproach.

Then I said to them, “You see the bad situation that we are in, how Jerusalem lies waste, and its gates are burned with fire. Come, let us build up the wall of Jerusalem, that we won’t be disgraced.”
