Ezra 6:12-14
International Standard Version
12 And may the God who causes his Name to rest there destroy any king or people who might attempt[a] to destroy this Temple of God in Jerusalem.
I, Darius, have issued this decree. Let it be carried out quickly.
13 Because of what King Darius had mandated, Tattenai, the Trans-Euphrates Governor, Shethar-bozenai, and their colleagues carried out his orders quickly.
