1 Esdras 6:4-6

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

⁴ ‘By whose order are you building this house and this roof and finishing all the other things? And who are the builders that are finishing these things?’ ⁵ Yet the elders of the Jews were dealt with kindly, for the providence of the Lord was over the captives; ⁶ they were not prevented from building until word could be sent to Darius concerning them and a report made.
