59 "Lord, all praise belongs to you; you are the source of all victory and wisdom,

60 and I thank you, O Lord of our ancestors, for giving wisdom to me, your servant."

61 Zerubbabel took the emperor's letters and went to Babylon, where he told the other Jews everything that had happened.

62 They praised the God of their ancestors because he had made it possible for them

63 to go and rebuild Jerusalem and the Temple which bears his name. For seven days they held a joyful celebration, accompanied by music.
