Esdras 8:21-23

Listen to Esdras 8:21-23
21 Ali, junto ao canal de Aava, proclamei jejum para que nos humilhássemos diante do nosso Deus e lhe pedíssemos uma viagem segura para nós e nossos filhos, com todos os nossos bens.
22 Tive vergonha de pedir soldados e cavaleiros ao rei para nos protegerem dos inimigos na estrada, pois lhe tínhamos dito: “A mão bondosa de nosso Deus está sobre todos os que o buscam, mas o seu poder e a sua ira são contra todos os que o abandonam”.
23 Por isso jejuamos e suplicamos essa bênção ao nosso Deus, e ele nos atendeu.
