Ezra 4:20-22
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 4
20
that mighty kings have ruled over Jerusalem, governing all
the provinces
beyond the
Euphrates
River, and that tribute, custom tax, and toll were paid to them.
21
Now issue a decree to make those men stop
work,
so that this city will not be rebuilt until a decree is issued by me.
22
And beware of being negligent in carrying out this
matter;
why should there be great damage, to the detriment of the kings?'
King James Version
Chapter 4
20
There have been mighty kings also over Jerusalem, which have ruled over all countries beyond the river; and toll, tribute, and custom, was paid unto them.
21
Give ye now commandment to cause these men to cease, and that this city be not builded, until another commandment shall be given from me.
22
Take heed now that ye fail not to do this: why should damage grow to the hurt of the kings?
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 4
20
Powerful kings have also ruled over Jerusalem and exercised authority over the whole region west of the Euphrates River, and tribute, duty, and land tax were paid to them.
21
Therefore, issue an order for these men to stop, so that this city will not be rebuilt until a further decree has been pronounced by me.
22
See that you not neglect this matter. Otherwise, the damage will increase and the royal interests will suffer.
