Ezra 8:22 Go deeper

← Ezra 8 · ← verse 21 · verse 23 →

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. (KJV)
