EZRA 8:22

Nahiya akong humingi sa hari ng hukbo o mga mangangabayo para ipagtanggol kami laban sa mga kaaway sa aming daraanan, yamang sinabi namin sa hari, 'Ang kamay ng aming Diyos ay nasa lahat ng humahanap sa kaniya para sa kabutihan, ngunit ang kaniyang kapangyarihan at poot ay nasa lahat ng sinumang nakakalimot sa kaniya.'

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.
