1 Esdras 6:4

4 "By whose order are you building this house and this roof and finishing all the other things? Who are the builders who are doing all of these things?"

1 Esdras 6:4 In-Context

2 Then Zerubbabel, Shealtiel's son, and Jeshua, Jozadak's son, went up and began to build the Lord's house in Jerusalem, assisted by the Lord's prophets.

3 At the same time, Sisinnes, the commander of Syria and Phoenicia, and Sathrabuzanes and their associates came to them and said,

4 "By whose order are you building this house and this roof and finishing all the other things? Who are the builders who are doing all of these things?"

5 Yet the elders of the Judeans enjoyed the gracious protection of the Lord on the exiles,

6 and they weren't prevented from building until Darius could be informed about them and return an answer.
