以斯拉记 8:22

我求王拨步兵马兵帮助我们抵挡路上的仇敌，本以为羞耻；因我曾对王说：「我们 神施恩的手必帮助一切寻求他的；但他的能力和忿怒必攻击一切离弃他的。」

wǒ qiú wáng bō bù bīng mǎ bīng bāng zhù wǒ men dǐ dǎng lù shang de chóu dí ， běn yǐ wéi xiū chǐ ； yīn wǒ céng duì wáng shuō ：「 wǒ men shén shī ēn de shǒu bì bāng zhù yí qiè xún qiú tā de ； dàn tā de néng lì hé fèn nù bì gōng jī yí qiè lí qì tā de 。」

For I was ashamed to ask of the king a band of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy on the way, because we had spoken to the king, saying, “The hand of our God is on all those who seek him, for good; but his power and his wrath is against all those who forsake him.”
