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
Ezra was leading a group of Jewish exiles from Babylon back to Jerusalem around 458 BC, carrying valuable temple treasures. The journey was dangerous due to bandits and hostile tribes along the route. Ezra had previously testified to King Artaxerxes about God's faithfulness, so requesting military escort would have seemed to contradict his faith.
