Esdra 7:25-26

25 E tu, Esdra, secondo la sapienza dell’Iddio tuo, che tu hai in mano, costituisci rettori, e giudici, i quali rendano ragione a tutto quel popolo che è di là dal fiume, cioè a tutti coloro che hanno conoscenza delle leggi dell’Iddio tuo; e insegnatele a quelli che non le sapranno.

26 E se v’è alcuno che non metta in opera la Legge dell’Iddio tuo, e la legge del re, siane incontanente fatta giustizia, o per morte, o per bando, o per ammenda in danari, o per prigione.
