Ezra 5:15-17
English Standard Version
15 and he said to him, “Take these vessels, go and put them in the temple that is in Jerusalem, and let the house of God be rebuilt on its site.” 16 Then this (A)Sheshbazzar came and (B)laid the foundations of the house of God that is in Jerusalem, and from that time until now it has been in building, and it is (C)not yet finished.’ 17 Therefore, if it seems good to the king, (D)let search be made in the royal archives there in Babylon, to see whether a decree was issued by Cyrus the king for the rebuilding of this house of God in Jerusalem. And let the king send us his pleasure in this matter.”
