Ezra 5:10-12

Tree of Life Version

¹⁰ We also asked them their names in order to inform you, so that we might write the names of the men who were in charge of them.

¹¹ They responded to us saying,

‘We are servants of the God of heaven and earth, and we are rebuilding the House that was built many years ago. A great king of Israel built and finished it. ¹² But because our fathers angered the God of heaven, He gave them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, the Chaldean. He destroyed this House and carried the people away to Babylon.
