Ezra 6:12-14
Legacy Standard Bible

12 May the God who (A)has caused His name to dwell there overthrow any king or people who [a]stretches out his hand to change it, so as to destroy that house of God in Jerusalem. I, Darius, have issued this decree, let it be done with all diligence!”

The Dedication of the House of God

13 Then (B)Tattenai, the governor of the province beyond the River, Shethar-bozenai and their colleagues carried out the decree with all diligence, just as King Darius had sent. 14 And (C)the elders of the Jews were building and succeeding through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo. So they built and completed it according to the decree of the God of Israel and the decree (D)of Cyrus, (E)Darius, and (F)Artaxerxes king of Persia.
