Chapter 6

KJV - Ezra 6:11

Also I have made a decree, that whosoever shall alter this word, let timber be pulled down from his house, and being set up, let him be hanged thereon; and let his house be made a dunghill for this.

I have decided that if anyone changes this rule, their house will be destroyed, they'll be hanged using the wood from their house, and their home will become a place for garbage.
