Esdras 7:27-28

27Εὐλογητὸς κύριος ὁ θεὸς τῶν πατέρων ἡμῶν, ὃς ἔδωκεν οὕτως ἐν καρδίᾳ τοῦ βασιλέως τοῦ δοξάσαι τὸν οἶκον κυρίου τὸν ἐν Ιερουσαλημ

28καὶ ἐπ ἐμὲ ἔκλινεν ἔλεος ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ τῶν συμβούλων αὐτοῦ καὶ πάντων τῶν ἀρχόντων τοῦ βασιλέως τῶν ἐπηρμένων. καὶ ἐγὼ ἐκραταιώθην ὡς χεὶρ θεοῦ ἡ ἀγαθὴ ἐπ ἐμέ, καὶ συνῆξα ἀπὸ Ισραηλ ἄρχοντας ἀναβῆναι μετ ἐμοῦ.
