I didn't take off my clothes even at night, neither did any of my companions nor my servants nor my bodyguards. And we all kept our weapons at hand.

Every governor who had been in office before me had been a burden to the people and had demanded forty silver coins a day for food and wine. Even their servants had oppressed the people. But I acted differently, because I honored God.

I put all my energy into rebuilding the wall and did not acquire any property. Everyone who worked for me joined in the rebuilding.

I will approve of those who are faithful to God and will let them live in my palace. Those who are completely honest will be allowed to serve me.
