For I was ashamed to require of the king a band of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy in the way: because we had spoken unto the king, saying, The hand of our God is upon all them for good that seek him; but his power and his wrath is against all them that forsake him.
Me daba mucha vergüenza pedirle al rey soldados y caballería para protegernos de los enemigos en el camino, porque ya le habíamos dicho al rey: 'Nuestro Dios cuida y bendice a todos los que lo buscan, pero su poder y su ira están contra los que lo abandonan.'
Esdras no pidió protección militar al rey porque ya había testimoniado que Dios protege a quienes confían en él.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the book of Ezra, the Jewish exiles are returning from Persia to Jerusalem under Ezra's leadership, facing potential dangers on their journey. Ezra had previously assured the Persian king that God protects those who seek Him, which made him reluctant to request soldiers for protection as it might undermine his declaration of faith. This event highlights the cultural and spiritual context of relying on divine intervention rather than human aid during the post-exilic period.
