Verse 9 is found in chapter 5 of Ezra. The Jewish leaders explain that the temple had been built by an ancient king of Israel and later destroyed because of the people’s unfaithfulness. Their response interprets the exile theologically: Jerusalem’s destruction was not presented as God’s final defeat, but as a consequence of Israel’s sin. The return and reconstruction therefore appear as a new stage after judgment.

Wir aber haben die Ältesten gefragt und zu ihnen gesagt also: Wer hat euch befohlen, dies Haus zu bauen und seine Mauern zu machen?
Entonces preguntamos a los ancianos, diciéndoles así: ¿Quién os dio mandamiento para edificar esta casa, y para restablecer estos muros?
Preguntamos a esos ancianos: “¿Quién les dio autorización para construir esta casa y completar esta estructura?”.
Nous avons interrogé les anciens, et nous leur avons ainsi parlé: Qui vous a donné l'autorisation de bâtir cette maison et de relever ces murs?
Avendo ciò veduto, abbiamo domandato a quegli Anziani, e abbiam loro detto così: Chi vi ha ordinato di edificar questa Casa, e di rifar queste mura?
Então perguntamos aos anciãos, e assim lhes dissemos: Quem vos deu ordem para reedificardes esta casa, e restaurardes este muro?
於是我們問那些長老,對他們這樣說:『誰降旨讓你們建造這殿,完成這建築呢?』
