Ezra 6:10-12

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁰ And let them offer oblations to the God of heaven, and pray for the life of the king, and of his children.

¹¹ And I have made a decree: That if any whosoever, shall alter this commandment, a beam be taken from his house. and set up, and he be nailed upon it, and his house be confiscated.

¹² And may the God, that hath caused his name to dwell there, destroy all kingdoms, and the people that shall put out their hand to resist, and to destroy the house of God, that is in Jerusalem. I Darius have made the decree, which I will have diligently complied with.
