Ezra 6:10-12

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁰ so that they may offer offerings to the God of Heaven and pray for the life of the king and his sons.

¹¹ Furthermore, a decree is issued from me that if any person tries to change this edict, a beam will be pulled out of his house and he will be impaled on it, and his house will be made a pile of rubble.

¹² May the God who caused his name to dwell there overthrow any king or people who take action to change my decree, in order to destroy that house of God that is in Jerusalem.
