Artaxerxes interposes his power in matters of Religion, and Ezra blesses God for it, Whosoever will not do the Law of thy God, and the Law of the King, let judgement be executed speedily upon him.

The making such a Law was one notable means whereby the House of the Lord came to be beautified.

I make a Decree ⟨p. 25⟩that every people, nation and language, who speak any thing against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made a dung-hill, &c. This the Scripture records as a work of the Kings repentance.
