   34 et dixit coram fratribus suis et optimatibus Samariae: "Quid Iudaei faciunt imbecilles? Num hoc conceditur eis? Num, quia sacrificant, complebunt in una die? Numquid vivificare poterunt lapides de acervis pulveris, qui combusti sunt?".
   35 Sed et Thobias Ammanites, qui erat ad latus eius, ait: "Sine aedificare; si ascenderit vulpes, diruet murum eorum lapideum".
   36 Audi, Deus noster, quia facti sumus irrisio! Converte contumeliam eorum super caput eorum et da eos in irrisionem in terra captivitatis!
   37 Ne operias iniquitatem eorum, et peccatum eorum coram facie tua non deleatur, quia offenderunt te coram aedificantibus.
   38 Itaque aedificavimus murum, et compositus est totus murus usque ad partem dimidiam, et populus dabat cor suum, ut operaretur.
