Ezra 4:20 in Context — Ezra 4
18 A carta que nos enviastes foi lida claramente diante de mim.
19 E eu dei ordem para que se buscasse; e encontraram que aquela cidade na antiguidade se levantou contra os reis, e nela houve rebelião e insurreição.
20 E que houve reis poderosos em Jerusalém, dominaram toda a região além do rio; e a eles se pagava tributos, taxas e impostos.
21 Agora, pois, dai ordem que impeçam aqueles homens, e aquela cidade não seja reconstruída, até que seja dado mandamento de minha parte.
22 E sede cuidadosos para que não falheis nisto; por que haveria de aumentar o dano para o prejuízo real?
