Ezra 5:14-16
New King James Version
14 Also, (A)the gold and silver articles of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar had taken from the temple that was in Jerusalem and carried into the temple of Babylon—those King Cyrus took from the temple of Babylon, and they were given to (B)one named Sheshbazzar, whom he had made governor. 15 And he said to him, ‘Take these articles; go, carry them to the temple site that is in Jerusalem, and let the house of God be rebuilt on its former site.’ 16 Then the same Sheshbazzar came and (C)laid the foundation of the house of God which is in Jerusalem; but from that time even until now it has been under construction, and (D)it is not finished.”
