1 Esdras 6:9-11

Common English Bible

⁹ These projects are proceeding swiftly, and the overall work is succeeding. They are completing it with brillance and precision. ¹⁰ So we asked these elders, “By whose command are you building this house and laying the foundations of this project?” ¹¹ In order that we might inform you, we questioned them about who the leaders are and demanded a list of the names of the troublemakers.
