Nehemiah4:3
3 Now Tobiah the Ammonite was by him, and he said, even that which they build, if a fox go up , he shall even break down their stone-wall .
He mentions the Foxes, because they were very numerous in those parts and because in the late desolations the Foxes did walk in the Mount, and City of Zion, Lamen. 5. 18. wherewith he seems to upbraid them.
It is so low, that a Fox can easily get to the top of it, and so weak, and done so hastily and carelesly, that the least thrust will tumble it down.
