Ezra 4:14 in Context — Ezra 4
12 Seja conhecido do rei que os judeus que subiram de ti a nós, vieram a Jerusalém; e edificam aquela cidade rebelde e má, e estão restaurando [seus] muros; e reparado [seus] fundamentos.
13 Seja agora conhecido do rei, que se aquela cidade for reconstruída, e os muros forem restaurados, os tributos, taxas, e impostos não serão pagos, e o patrimônio real será prejudicado.
14 Visto que somos assalariados pelo palácio, não nos convém ver a desonra do rei; por isso mandamos informar ao rei;
15 Para que se busque no livro das crônicas de teus pais; e acharás no livro das crônicas, e saberás que aquela cidade foi uma cidade rebelde, prejudicial aos reis e às províncias, e que nela desde antigamente fizeram rebeliões; por isso aquela cidade foi arruinada.
16 Por isso informamos ao rei que, se aquela cidade for reconstruída, e seus muros restaurados, a parte além do rio não será tua.
