1 Esdras 6:4-6

Common English Bible

⁴ “By whose order are you building this house and this roof and finishing all the other things? Who are the builders who are doing all of these things?” ⁵ Yet the elders of the Judeans enjoyed the gracious protection of the Lord on the exiles, ⁶ and they weren’t prevented from building until Darius could be informed about them and return an answer.
