Ezra 5:11-13
Legacy Standard Bible
11 Thus they responded with a word to us, saying,
‘We are the servants of the God of heaven and earth, and are rebuilding the house that was built many years ago, (A)which a great king of Israel built and completed.
12 But (B)because our fathers had provoked the God of heaven to wrath, (C)He gave them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, the Chaldean, who destroyed this house and took the people away into exile in Babylon.
13 However, (D)in the first year of Cyrus king of Babylon, King Cyrus (E)issued a decree to rebuild this house of God.
