Ezra 7:25-28

25And thouH607, EzraH5831, after the wisdomH2452 of thy GodH426, that is in thine handH3028, setH4483 magistratesH8200 and judgesH1782, which may judgeH1778H1934 allH3606 the peopleH5972 that are beyondH5675 the riverH5103, allH3606 such as knowH3046 the lawsH1882 of thy GodH426; and teachH3046 ye them that knowH3046 them notH3809. 26And whosoeverH3606 will notH3809 doH5648H1934 the lawH1882 of thy GodH426, and the lawH1882 of the kingH4430, let judgmentH1780 beH1934 executedH5648 speedilyH629 upon himH4481, whetherH2006 it be unto deathH4193, orH2006 to banishmentH8332, orH2006 to confiscationH6065 of goodsH5232, or to imprisonmentH613.1

27BlessedH1288 be YhwhH3068 GodH430 of our fathersH1, which hath putH5414 such a thing as this in the king’sH4428 heartH3820, to beautifyH6286 the houseH1004 of YhwhH3068 which is in JerusalemH3389: 28And hath extendedH5186 mercyH2617 unto me beforeH6440 the kingH4428, and his counsellorsH3289, and before all the king’sH4428 mightyH1368 princesH8269. And I was strengthenedH2388 as the handH3027 of YhwhH3068 my GodH430 was upon me, and I gathered togetherH6908 out of IsraelH3478 chief menH7218 to go upH5927 with me.
