⁷ Let the work of this house of God alone; let the governor of the Jews and the elders of the Jews build this house of God in his place.

³⁸ And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought:

³⁹ But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God.
