Ezra 6:10-12

New American Standard Bible

¹⁰ so that they may offer acceptable sacrifices to the God of heaven and ^(A)pray for the lives of the king and his sons. ¹¹ And I issued a decree that ^(B)any person who violates this decree, a timber shall be pulled out of his house and he shall be impaled on it; and ^(C)his house shall be turned into a refuse heap on account of this. ¹² May the God who ^(D)has caused His name to dwell there overthrow any king or people who ^[a]attempts to ^[b]change it, so as to destroy that house of God in Jerusalem. I, Darius, have issued this decree; it is to be carried out with all diligence!”
