Ezra 8:22-23
Context8:22 I was embarrassed to request soldiers and horsemen from the king to protect us from the enemy 1 along the way, because we had said to the king, “The good hand of our God is on everyone who is seeking him, but his great anger 2 is against everyone who forsakes him.” 8:23 So we fasted and prayed to our God about this, and he answered us.
