And whosoever will not do the law of thy God ,
and the law of the king ,
let judgment be executed speedily upon him ,
whether it be unto death ,
or to banishment ,
or to confiscation of goods ,
or to imprisonment .

Blessed barak (
8803 )
be the LORD God of our fathers ,
which hath put such a thing as this in the kings heart ,
to beautify the house of the LORD which is in Jerusalem :
*
And hath extended mercy unto me before the king ,
and his counsellors ,
and before all the kings mighty princes .
And I was strengthened as the hand of the LORD my God was upon me ,
and I gathered together out of Israel chief men to go up with me .
