Ezra 5:10-12

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁰ We asked also of them their names, that we might give thee notice: and we have written the names of the men that are the chief among them.

¹¹ And they answered us in these words, saying: We are the servants of the God of heaven and earth, and we are building a temple that was built these many years ago, and which a great king of Israel built and set up.

¹² But after that our fathers had provoked the God of heaven to wrath, he delivered them into the hands of Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon the Chaldean: and he destroyed this house, and carried away the people to Babylon.
