以斯拉記 4:13

如今王該知道，他們若建造這城，城牆完畢就不再與王進貢，交課，納稅，終久王必受虧損。

rú jīn wáng gāi zhī dào ， tā men ruò jiàn zào zhè chéng ， chéng qiáng wán bì jiù bú zài yǔ wáng jìn gòng ， jiāo kè ， nà shuì ， zhōng jiǔ wáng bì shòu kuī sǔn 。

Be it known now to the king that if this city is built and the walls finished, they will not pay tribute, custom, or toll, and in the end it will be hurtful to the kings.
