Ezra 8:22⥂
_KJV:
For I was ashamed to require of the king a band of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy in the way: because we had spoken unto the king, saying, The hand of our God [is] upon all them for good that seek him; but his power and his wrath [is] against all them that forsake him.
_BSB:
For I was ashamed to ask the king for an escort of soldiers and horsemen to protect us from our enemies on the road, since we had told him, “The hand of our God is gracious to all who seek Him, but His great anger is against all who forsake Him.”
_Hebrew:
כִּ֣י בֹ֗שְׁתִּי לִשְׁא֤וֹל מִן־ הַמֶּ֙לֶךְ֙ חַ֣יִל וּפָרָשִׁ֔ים לְעָזְרֵ֥נוּ מֵאוֹיֵ֖ב בַּדָּ֑רֶךְ כִּֽי־ אָמַ֨רְנוּ לַמֶּ֜לֶךְ לֵאמֹ֗ר יַד־ אֱלֹהֵ֤ינוּ עַל־ כָּל־ מְבַקְשָׁיו֙ לְטוֹבָ֔ה וְעֻזּ֣וֹ וְאַפּ֔וֹ עַ֖ל כָּל־ עֹזְבָֽיו׃
