Ezra 7:25-27
New International Version
25 And you, Ezra, in accordance with the wisdom of your God, which you possess, appoint(A) magistrates and judges to administer justice to all the people of Trans-Euphrates—all who know the laws of your God. And you are to teach(B) any who do not know them. 26 Whoever does not obey the law of your God and the law of the king must surely be punished by death, banishment, confiscation of property, or imprisonment.[a](C)
27 Praise be to the Lord, the God of our ancestors, who has put it into the king’s heart(D) to bring honor(E) to the house of the Lord in Jerusalem in this way
