Let the work

this
<01791>
house
<01005>

Moreover I
<04481>
make

be
<01934> (8748)
given
<03052> (8727)
unto these
<0479>
men

<07960>_:
That they may offer

{of sweet...: Chaldee, of rest}
Also
<04481>
I have made
<07761> (8752)
a decree
<02942>_,
that whosoever
<03606> <0606>

<05256> (8725)
from

be made
<05648> (8725)
a dunghill
<05122>

{let him...: Chaldee, let him be destroyed}
And the God
<0426>
that hath caused his name
<08036>
to dwell
<07932> (8745)
there
<08536>
destroy
<04049> (8741)
all
<03606>
kings
<04430>
and people
<05972>_,
that shall put
<07972> (8748)
to their hand
<03028>
to alter
<08133> (8682)
[and] to destroy
<02255> (8742)
this
<01791>

<01005>
of God
<0426>
which [is] at Jerusalem
<03390>_.

<02292>
