Then ceased the work of the house of God which is at Jerusalem. So it ceased unto the second year of the reign of Darius king of Persia.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 24 is found in chapter 4 of Ezra. The officials carry out the order and stop the construction. The chapter ends with the work halted until the second year of Darius. The contrast with the enthusiasm of the previous chapter is deliberate: restoration experiences a visible setback. The pause prepares for the prophetic and administrative intervention that will allow construction to resume.

Entonces cesó la obra de la casa de Dios que está en Jerusalén y quedó suspendida hasta el segundo año del reinado de Darío, rey de Persia.
Alors s'arrêta l'ouvrage de la maison de Dieu à Jérusalem, et il fut interrompu jusqu'à la seconde année du règne de Darius, roi de Perse.
In quel tempo fu tralasciata l’opera della Casa di Dio, che è in Gerusalemme, e restò così tralasciata fino all’anno secondo del regno di Dario, re di Persia
Então cessou a obra da casa de Deus, que estava em Jerusalém; e cessou até ao ano segundo do reinado de Dario, rei da Pérsia.
