Ezra 7:25-28

25And youH607, EzraH5831, according to the wisdomH2452 of your GodH426, which you possessH1768H3028, are to appointH4483 magistratesH8200 and judgesH1782 to judgeH1778 allH3606 the peopleH5972H1768 westH5675 of the EuphratesH5103—allH3606 who knowH3046 the lawsH1882 of your GodH426. And you are to teachH3046 these laws to anyone whoH1768 does notH3809 know themH3046. 26If anyoneH3606H1768 doesH1934 notH3809 keepH5648 the lawH1882 ofH1768 your GodH426 and the lawH1882 ofH1768 the kingH4430, let a strictH629 judgmentH1780 beH1934 executedH5648 against himH4481, whetherH2006 deathH4193H2006, banishmentH8332H2006, confiscationH6065 of propertyH5232, or imprisonmentH613.

27BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of our fathersH1, whoH834 has putH5414 into the heartH3820 of the kingH4428 to so honorH6286 the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 in JerusalemH3389, 28and who has shownH5186 meH5921 favorH2617 beforeH6440 the kingH4428, his counselorsH3289, and allH3605 hisH4428 powerfulH1368 officialsH8269.

And because the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 my GodH430 was upon meH5921, IH589 took courageH2388 and gatheredH6908 the leadersH7218 of IsraelH3478 to returnH5927 with meH5973.
