← Ezra 5:16	Ezra 5:17 (KJV)	Ezra 6:1 →
Then came the same Sheshbazzar, [and] laid the foundation of the house of God which [is] in Jerusalem: and since that time even until now hath it been in building, and [yet] it is not finished.	Now therefore, if [it seem] good to the king, let there be search made in the king's treasure house, which [is] there at Babylon, whether it be [so], that a decree was made of Cyrus the king to build this house of God at Jerusalem, and let the king send his pleasure to us concerning this matter.	Then Darius the king made a decree, and search was made in the house of the rolls, where the treasures were laid up in Babylon.
