1 Esdras 2:22-24

Wycliffe Bible

²² and thou shalt find in (the) remembrances written of them, and thou shalt know, that that city was again-flown (or rebellious), and kings and cities smiting together,

²³ and (the) Jews fleeing again (or rebelling), and making battles in it always; for the which cause this city was forsaken. [and Jews again-fleeing, and making battles in it forevermore; for what cause this is desert(ed).]

²⁴ Now therefore we make known to the lord [the] king, that if this city were built up, and the walls of it were areared, there shall be no coming down to thee into Celosyria and Phenice (or into Greater Syria and Phoenicia).
