Ezra 5:10 in Context — Ezra 5

8 Que le roi sache que nous sommes allés dans la province de Juda, à la maison du grand Dieu. Elle se construit en pierres de taille, et le bois se pose dans les murs; le travail marche rapidement et réussit entre leurs mains.

9 Nous avons interrogé les anciens, et nous leur avons ainsi parlé: Qui vous a donné l’autorisation de bâtir cette maison et de relever ces murs?

10 Nous leur avons aussi demandé leurs noms pour te les faire connaître, et nous avons mis par écrit les noms des hommes qui sont à leur tête.

11 Voici la réponse qu’ils nous ont faite: Nous sommes les serviteurs du Dieu des cieux et de la terre, et nous rebâtissons la maison qui avait été construite il y a bien des années; un grand roi d’Israël l’avait bâtie et achevée.

12 Maisaprès que nos pères eurent irrité le Dieu des cieux, il les livra entre les mains de Nebucadnetsar, roi de Babylone, le Chaldéen, qui détruisit cette maison et emmena le peuple captif à Babylone.
