Ezra 5:3-5

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

³ And at the same time came to them Thathanai, who was governor beyond the river, and Stharbuzanai, and their counsellors: and said thus to them: Who hath given you counsel to build this house, and to repair the walls thereof?

⁴ In answer to which we gave them the names of the men who were the promoters of that building.

⁵ But the eye of their God was upon the ancients of the Jews, and they could not hinder them. And it was agreed that the matter should be referred to Darius, and then they should give satisfaction concerning that accusation.
