1 Esdras 4:6-8

Wycliffe Bible

⁶ And how many ever (or however many) bear not knighthood, nor fight, but ere (or plow) the land, again when they shall reap, they bring tributes to the king.

⁷ And (yet) he is (but) one (man) alone; and if he bid to slay, they slay; and if he bid them to forgive, they forgive; [And he one alone; and if he say to slay, they slay; and if he say to forgive, they forgive;]

⁸ and if he say them to smite [or and if he say to smite], they smite; if he say to outlaw, they outlaw; if he bid them to build, they build;
