Ezra 8:21-23
21Then I proclaimedH7121 1a fastH6685 thereH8033 at 2the riverH5104 of AhavaH163, to 3humbleH6031 ourselves beforeH6440 our GodH430, to seekH1245 from Him a 4safeH3477 journeyH1870 for us, our littleH2945 onesH2945, and allH3605 our possessionsH7399. 22For I wasH954 ashamedH954 to requestH7592 from the kingH4428 troopsH2428 and horsemenH6571 to 5protectH5826 us from the enemyH340 on the wayH1870, becauseH3588 we had saidH559 to the kingH4428, “6The handH3027 of our GodH430 is 7favorablyH2899 disposedH2899 to allH3605 who seekH1245 Him, but 8His powerH5797 and His angerH639 are againstH5921 allH3605 those who 9abandonH5800 Him.” 23So we fastedH6684 and soughtH1245 our GodH430 concerningH5921 thisH2088 matter, and He 1011listenedH6279 toH6279 our pleadingH6279.
