Ezra 4:21 in the King James Version
Give ye now commandment to cause these men to cease, and that this city be not builded, until another commandment shall be given from me.
Context
20 There have also been mighty kings over Jerusalem who have ruled over all the country beyond the River; and tribute, custom, and toll was paid to them.
21 Make a decree now to cause these men to cease, and that this city not be built until a decree is made by me.
22 Be careful that you not be slack doing so. Why should damage grow to the hurt of the kings?
