Ezra 7:25-28

25And thou, EzraH5831, after the wisdomH2452 of thy GodH426 that is in thy handH3028, appointH4483 magistrates and judges, who may judge all the peopleH5972 that are beyond the RiverH5103, all such as knowH3046 the lawsH1882 of thy GodH426; and teach ye him that knoweth them not. 26And whosoever will not do the lawH1882 of thy GodH426, and the lawH1882 of the kingH4430, let judgment be executed upon him with all diligence, whether it be unto death, or to banishment, or to confiscation of goods, or to imprisonment.

27BlessedH1288 be Jehovah, the GodH430 of our fathersH1, who hath putH5414 such a thing as this in the king’sH4428 heartH3820, to beautifyH6286 the houseH1004 of Jehovah which is in JerusalemH3389; 28and hath extendedH5186 lovingkindness unto me before the kingH4428, and his counsellors, and before all the king’sH4428 mightyH1368 princesH8269. And I was strengthenedH2388 according to the handH3027 of Jehovah my GodH430 upon me, and I gatheredH6908 together out of IsraelH3478 chiefH7218 menH1368 to goH5927 up with me.
