THE HOLY BIBLE Douay-Rheims

First Book of Esdras (Author Esdras)

4:15That search may be made in the books of the histories of thy fathers, and thou shalt find written in the records: and shalt know that this city is a rebellious city, and hurtful to the kings and provinces, and that wars were raised therein of old time: for which cause also the city was destroyed.
