Ezra 4:3-5
Legacy Standard Bible
3 But Zerubbabel and Jeshua and the rest of the heads of fathers’ households of Israel said to them, “(A)You have nothing in common with us in building a house to our God; but we ourselves will together build to Yahweh, the God of Israel, (B)as King Cyrus, the king of Persia has commanded us.”
4 So (C)the people of the land [a]discouraged the people of Judah and dismayed them from building, 5 and hired counselors against them to frustrate their counsel all the days of Cyrus king of Persia, even until the reign of Darius king of Persia.
