1 Esdras 3:5–7
The Revised Standard VersionOther versions
5“Let each of us state what one thing is strongest; and to him whose statement seems wisest, Darius the king will give rich gifts and great honors of victory. 6He shall be clothed in purple, and drink from gold cups, and sleep on a gold bed, and have a chariot with gold bridles, and a turban of fine linen, and a necklace about his neck; 7and because of his wisdom he shall sit next to Darius and shall be called kinsman of Darius.”
