Ezra 5:14-16

14Also 1the gold and silver utensils of the house of God which Nebuchadnezzar had taken from the temple 2in Jerusalem, and brought them to the temple of Babylon, these King Cyrus took from the temple of Babylon and they were given to one 3whose name was Sheshbazzar, whom he had appointed governor.

15He said to him, “Take these utensils, go and deposit them in the temple 4in Jerusalem and let the house of God be rebuilt in its place.”

16Then that Sheshbazzar came and 5laid the foundations of the house of God 6in Jerusalem; and from then until now it has been under construction and it is 7not yet completed.’
