**אֵיךְ לֹא עֻזְּבָה.** לֹא נִתְמַלֵּאת עָפָר סְבִיב חוֹמָתָהּ לְחַזֵּק הַחוֹמָה, כְּמוֹ ״וַיַּעַזְבוּ אֶת יְרוּשָׁלַיִם עַד הַחוֹמָה״ (נחמיה ג:ח). וְיֵשׁ עוֹד לִפְתֹּר: לָמָּה לֹא נֶעֶזְבָה מִן הָרָעָה הַזֹּאת, שֶׁלֹּא תָבֹא הָרָעָה עָלֶיהָ?

**The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg:**
**“How was...not fortified”** It was not filled with earth around its wall to strengthen the wall. Cf. “And they fortified (ויעזבוּ) Jerusalem up to the wall” (Neh. 3:8). It can also be interpreted: Why was it not forsaken by this evil, that the evil should not come upon it?
