Verse 15
Ezra 4:15
Noah Webster Bible
15
That search may be made in the book of the records of thy fathers: so wilt thou find in the book of the records, and know that this city is a rebellious city, and hurtful to kings and provinces, and that they have moved sedition within the same of old time: for which cause was this city destroyed.

English Translation
Whoever will read in the book of my remembrance, I will cause you to remember that your ancestors and you will be known, and you will know that the city of Marada will be a refuge for kings and provinces, and I will establish servants within it from the day of eternity upon this city which has been destroyed.
