1 Esdras 6:32
May the Lord, on whose name they called, destroy every king and nation that will stretch out their hands to prevent or damage the Lord’s house in Jerusalem.
He commanded that if anyone should transgress or nullify any of the things herein written, a beam should be taken out of the house of the perpetrator, who then should be impaled upon it, and all property forfeited to the king.
“Therefore may the Lord, whose name is there called upon, destroy every king and nation that shall stretch out their hands to hinder or damage that house of the Lord in Jerusalem.
And he commanded that if any should transgress or nullify any of the things herein written, a beam should be taken out of his house and he should be hanged upon it, and his property should be forfeited to the king.
And be it denounced (or announced), that whosoever over-pass anything of these things that be written, either [or] despise (them), be there taken a tree of their own, and be they hanged thereon, and their goods be escheated (or forfeited) to the king.
