Esdras 4:12

Listen to Esdras 4:12
12 sepa el rey que los judíos que subieron de ti han venido a nosotros en Jerusalén; están reedificando la ciudad rebelde y perversa, y están terminando las murallas y reparando los cimientos.

Esdras 4:12 Meaning and Commentary

Ezra 4:12

Be it known unto the king
The intent of this letter was, that it might be known to the king what follows:

that the Jews which came up from thee to us are come unto Jerusalem;
this they observe partly out of contempt of the Jews, having been lately captive in Babylon, and partly to insinuate what ingratitude they were guilty of; that having got their liberty, and come to Jerusalem, they made use of it to the king's detriment:

building the rebellious and the bad city;
as they suggest it had been to kings, even his predecessors, in former times, ( Ezra 4:15 )

and have set up the walls thereof, and joined the foundations;
which was a falsehood; for the most they had done was setting up the walls of their houses in Jerusalem, and laying the foundation of the temple; as for the walls of the city, they had not as yet done anything unto them.

11 esta es la copia de la carta que le enviaron.) Al rey Artajerjes, de tus siervos, los hombres de la provincia al otro lado del rĂ­o: Y ahora
12 sepa el rey que los judíos que subieron de ti han venido a nosotros en Jerusalén; están reedificando la ciudad rebelde y perversa, y están terminando las murallas y reparando los cimientos.
13 Ahora sepa el rey, que si esa ciudad es reedificada y las murallas terminadas, ellos no pagarán tributo, ni impuesto, ni peaje, lo cual perjudicará los ingresos de los reyes.
14 Y debido a que estamos en el servicio del palacio, y no es apropiado que veamos el menosprecio del rey, por eso hemos enviado para hacerlo saber al rey,
