Legacy Standard Bible
10 that they may bring sweet-smelling sacrifices near to the God of heaven and (A)pray for the life of the king and his sons.
11 And I issued a decree that (B)any man who violates this edict, a timber shall be pulled out from his house and he shall be impaled on it and (C)his house shall be made a refuse heap on account of this.
12 May the God who (D)has caused His name to dwell there overthrow any king or people who [a]stretches out his hand to change it, so as to destroy that house of God in Jerusalem. I, Darius, have issued this decree, let it be done with all diligence!”
