Ezra 6:12-14
New American Standard Bible
12 May the God who (A)has caused His name to dwell there overthrow any king or people who [a]attempts to [b]change it, so as to destroy that house of God in Jerusalem. I, Darius, have issued this decree; it is to be carried out with all diligence!”
The Temple Completed and Dedicated
13 Then (B)Tattenai, the governor of the province beyond the Euphrates River, Shethar-bozenai, and their colleagues carried out the decree with all diligence, just as King Darius had [c]ordered. 14 And (C)the elders of the Jews [d]were successful in building through the prophecy of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo. And [e]they finished building following the command of the God of Israel and the decree (D)of Cyrus, (E)Darius, and (F)Artaxerxes king of Persia.
