Ezra 6:10-12

New Century Version

¹⁰ Then they may offer sacrifices pleasing to the God of heaven, and they may pray for the life of the king and his sons.

¹¹ Also, I give this order: If anyone changes this order, a wood beam is to be pulled from his house and driven through his body. Because of his crime, make his house a pile of ruins. ¹² God has chosen Jerusalem as the place he is to be worshiped. May he punish any king or person who tries to change this order and destroy this Temple.

I, Darius, have given this order. Let it be obeyed quickly and carefully.
