Ezra 8
22 Ref for I was ashamed to ask from the king a force and horsemen to help us because of the enemy in the way, for we spake to the king, saying, `The hand of our God `is' upon all seeking Him for good, and His strength and His wrath `is' upon all forsaking Him.'
23 Ref And we fast, and seek from our God for this, and He is entreated of us.
