Ezra 7:25-26

25“And you, Ezra, according to the wisdom of your God that is in your hand, aappoint magistrates and judges who may judge all the people in the province Beyond the River, all such as know the laws of your God. bAnd those who do not know them, you shall teach. 26Whoever will not obey the law of your God and the law of the king, let judgment be strictly executed on him, whether for death or for banishment or for confiscation of his goods or for imprisonment.”
