Ezra 1:3 Douay-Rheims

Who is there among you of all his people? His God be with him. Let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judea, and build the house of the Lord the God of Israel: he is the God that is in Jerusalem.

Glossa Ordinaria

Medieval

Who is there among you. Great in these words is the faith of the king, etc., up to and might direct their minds and hands to salutary works. Let him go up to Jerusalem. Those who sin or who care for worldly things are in the depths; let those who desire to please God sigh after heavenly things, let them transcend all the pomps of the world and its enticements by the love of things eternal, and let them build a house to God in Judaea, that is, in the confession of their own iniquity and of the divine mercy; let them prepare their hearts, which God may deign to inhabit and to illuminate, and let them strive by words and by examples to invite their neighbours to the same.
