La Bibbia di Giovanni Diodati

Esdra 6:12

E Dio, che ha stanziato quivi il suo Nome, distrugga ogni re e popolo che metterà la mano per mutar questo, e per disfar di nuovo cotesta Casa di Dio, che è in Gerusalemme. Io Dario ho fatto questo decreto; sia, senza indugio, messo ad esecuzione.

La Nuova Diodati
Il Dio che ha fatto dimorare l il suo nome distrugga ogni re e ogni popolo che osa stendere la sua mano per alterare questo o per distruggere la casa di Dio che in Gerusalemme! Io Dario ho emanato questo decreto; sia eseguito con accuratezza".
Riveduta Bibbia
L’Iddio che ha fatto di quel luogo la dimora del suo nome, distrugga ogni re ed ogni popolo che stendesse la mano per trasgredire la mia parola, per distruggere la casa di Dio ch’è in Gerusalemme! Io, Dario, ho emanato questo decreto: sia eseguito con ogni prontezza".

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the God that hath caused his name to dwell there,.... Whose name is not only called upon there, and that called by his name; but who grants his presence, and causes his Shechinah, or divine Majesty, to dwell there, as in Solomon's temple, which Darius had some knowledge of:

destroy all kings and people; let them be who they will, high or low:

that shall put to their hand to alter and to destroy this house of God, which is at Jerusalem; this he said to deter from hindering the building of it now, and from attempting to destroy it hereafter:

I Darius have made a decree, let it be done with speed; be carried immediately into execution, especially with respect to the disbursement for the building of the temple, and for the sacrifices of it.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Destroy all - A similar malediction is found at the end of the great inscription of this same king Darius at Behistun: If anyone injures the tablet which he has set up, he prays that Ormazd will be their enemy, and that they may have no offspring, and that whatever they do, Ormazd may curse it for them.

To alter and to destroy this house - i. e., to alter the decree, and then proceed to destroy the house.
