Ezra 5:11-15

11And thus they returned us answer, saying, We are the servants of the 1God of the heavens and the earth, and build the house that was built these many years ago; and a great king of Israel built and completed it.

12But after that our fathers had provoked the 2God of the heavens to wrath, he gave them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, the Chaldean, and he destroyed this house, and carried the people away unto Babylon.

13But in the first year of Cyrus king of Babylon, king Cyrus gave orders to build this house of 3God.

14And the vessels also of gold and silver of the house of 4God, which Nebuchadnezzar took out of the temple that was at Jerusalem and brought into the temple of Babylon, those did king Cyrus take out of the temple of Babylon, and they were delivered to one Sheshbazzar by name, whom he had appointed governor.

15And he said to him, Take these vessels, go, carry them into the temple that is at Jerusalem, and let the house of 5God be built in its place.
