1 Esdras 5:69-71

Wycliffe Bible

⁶⁹ In like manner forsooth we have heard our Lord, and we have gone together from the days of Asbasareth (or Esarhaddon), king of Assyrians, that over-passed from hence, [or that went over hence], (or that brought us here).

⁷⁰ And Zerubbabel, and Jesus, (or Jeshua, or Joshua), and the princes of the towns of Israel said to them, It (be)longeth not to us and to you together to build up the house of our God [or It is not to us and to you to build up the house of our God];

⁷¹ forsooth we alone shall build the house of our God, after those things, that Cyrus, king of Persia, commanded.
