1 Esdras (Ezra) 8:22-23 DRC1752
For I was ashamed to ask the king for aid and for horsemen, to defend us from the enemy in the way. Because we had said to the king: The hand of our God is upon all them that seek him in goodness; and his power and strength, and wrath upon all them that forsake him. And we fasted, and besought our God for this: and it fell out prosperously unto us.
