Ezra 4:22

← Ezra 4:21	Ezra 4:22 (KJV)	Ezra 4:23 →
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.	Take heed now that ye fail not to do this: why should damage grow to the hurt of the kings?	Now when the copy of king Artaxerxes' letter [was] read before Rehum, and Shimshai the scribe, and their companions, they went up in haste to Jerusalem unto the Jews, and made them to cease by force and power.
