Ezra 5:16-17

New American Standard Bible

¹⁶ Then that Sheshbazzar came and ^(A)laid the foundations of the house of God in Jerusalem; and from then until now it has been under construction and it is ^(B)not yet completed.’ ¹⁷ And now, if it pleases the king, ^(C)let a search be conducted in the king’s treasure house, which is there in Babylon, as to whether a decree was issued by King Cyrus to rebuild this house of God in Jerusalem; and let the king send to us his decision concerning this matter.”
