And our enemies said: Let them not know, nor understand, till we come in the midst of them, and kill them, and cause the work to cease.

And our adversaries said, They shall not know, neither see, till we come into the midst of them and kill them, and put an end to the work.

And our adversaries said, They shall not know, neither see, till we come in the middle among them, and slay them, and cause the work to cease.

And those who were against us said, Without their knowledge and without their seeing us, we will come among them and put them to death, causing the work to come to a stop.

Our adversaries said, 'They shall not know, neither see, until we come into their midst, and kill them, and cause the work to cease.'

And our adversaries said, they shall not know,.... Our designs upon them:
neither see; or perceive what we are about to do:
till we come in the midst of them; with an army suddenly, at an unawares, and unexpected:
and slay them; they being unarmed, and not prepared to defend themselves:
and cause the work to cease; as it must in course, the builders being slain.

(4:5)
Their discouragement was increased by the words of their enemies, who said: They (the Jews) shall not know nor see, till we come in the midst among them, and slay them, and cause the work to cease.
