Ezra 6:10-12

English Standard Version

¹⁰ that they may offer pleasing sacrifices to the God of heaven ^(A)and pray for the life of the king and his sons. ¹¹ Also I make a decree that if anyone alters this edict, a beam shall be pulled out of his house, and he shall be impaled on it, and ^(B)his house shall be made a dunghill. ¹² May the God ^(C)who has caused his name to dwell there overthrow any king or people who shall put out a hand to alter this, or to destroy this house of God that is in Jerusalem. I Darius make a decree; let it be done with all diligence.”
