Ezra 4:20 in Context — Ezra 4
18 La carta que nos enviasteis claramente fué leída delante de mí.
19 Y por mí fué dado mandamiento, y buscaron, y hallaron que aquella ciudad de tiempo antiguo se levanta contra los reyes, y se rebela, y se forma en ella sedición:
20 Y que reyes fuertes hubo en Jerusalem, quienes señorearon en todo [lo que está] á la parte allá del río; y que tributo, y pecho, y rentas se les daba.
21 Ahora [pues] dad orden que cesen aquellos hombres, y no sea esa ciudad edificada, hasta que por mí sea dado mandamiento.
22 Y mirad bien que no hagáis error en esto: ¿por qué habrá de crecer el daño para perjuicio de los reyes?
