Ezra 5:7-9

Young's Literal Translation

⁷ A letter they have sent unto him, and thus is it written in it:

⁸ `To Darius the king, all peace! be it known to the king that we have gone to the province of Judah, to the great house of God, and it is built [with] rolled stones, and wood is placed in the walls, and this work is done speedily, and prospering in their hand.

⁹ Then we have asked of these elders, thus we have said to them, Who hath made for you a decree this house to build, and this wall to finish?
