以斯拉記 8:22

我求王撥步兵馬兵幫助我們抵擋路上的仇敵，本以為羞恥；因我曾對王說：「我們上帝施恩的手必幫助一切尋求他的；但他的能力和忿怒必攻擊一切離棄他的。」

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.”
