Esdras 8:21-23

Listen to Esdras 8:21-23
21 Entonces proclamé allí, junto al río Ahava, un ayuno para que nos humilláramos delante de nuestro Dios a fin de implorar de El un viaje feliz para nosotros, para nuestros pequeños y para todas nuestras posesiones.
22 Porque tuve verguenza de pedir al rey tropas y hombres de a caballo para protegernos del enemigo en el camino, pues habíamos dicho al rey: La mano de nuestro Dios es propicia para con todos los que le buscan, mas su poder y su ira contra todos los que le abandonan.
23 Ayunamos, pues, y pedimos a nuestro Dios acerca de esto, y El escuchó nuestra súplica.
