Darby's French Translation
que tout ce qui est ordonné par le Dieu des cieux soit fait exactement pour la maison du Dieu des cieux; car pourquoi y aurait-il colère contre le royaume du roi et de ses fils?
Louis Segond (1910)
Que tout ce qui est ordonné par le Dieu des cieux se fasse ponctuellement pour la maison du Dieu des cieux, afin que sa colère ne soit pas sur le royaume, sur le roi et sur ses fils.
La Bible David Martin (1744)
Que tout ce qui est commandé par le Dieu des cieux, soit promptement fait à la maison du Dieu des cieux; de peur qu'il n'y ait de l'indignation contre le Royaume, et contre le Roi et ses enfants.

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

Whatsoever is commanded: Chal, Whatsoever is of the decree, Ezra 7:13, Ezra 7:18

let it be: Psalms 119:4

why should there be wrath: As Artaxerxes believed he was appointed by the Almighty to do this work, he therefore wished to do it heartily; knowing that if he did not, God would be displeased, and that the kingdom would be cut off from him or his posterity. Ezra 6:10-12, Zechariah 12:3

Reciprocal: Exodus 5:3 - lest he Ezra 5:8 - the great God Ezra 10:4 - for this matter Jeremiah 29:7 - pray Daniel 3:28 - Blessed Revelation 16:11 - the God

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Whatsoever is commanded by the God of heaven,.... In the law given by Moses to the people of Israel:

let it be diligently done for the house of the God of heaven; for the service of it, particularly sacrifices:

for why should there be wrath against the realm of the king and his sons? through the neglect of the service of God in the temple, and by reason of the default of the king's treasurers.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Literally, as in the margin, i. e., Whatsoever is commanded in the Law with respect to the temple service.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 23. Why should there be wrath — As he believed he was appointed by the Almighty to do this work, he therefore wished to do it heartily, knowing that if he did not, God would be displeased, and that the kingdom would be cut off from him or his posterity.
