Ezra 4:21

New International Version

²¹Now issue an order to these men to stop work, so that this city will not be rebuilt until I so order.

Ezra 4:21

King James Version

²¹Give ye now commandment to cause these men to cease, and that this city be not builded, until another commandment shall be given from me.

²²Be careful not to neglect this matter. Why let this threat grow, to the detriment of the royal interests?^(A)

²²Take heed now that ye fail not to do this: why should damage grow to the hurt of the kings?

New International Version (NIV)
