Esdras 8

Santa Biblia Libre Latinoamericana

22Me dio vergüenza pedirle al rey una escolta de soldados y caballería para que nos protegieran de los enemigos en el camino, porque ya le habíamos dicho al rey: “Nuestro Dios protege a todos los que confían en él, pero su poder y su enojo se descargan contra quienes lo abandonan”.

Reina-Valera 1909

22Porque tuve vergüenza de pedir al rey tropa y gente de á caballo que nos defendiesen del enemigo en el camino: porque habíamos hablado al rey, diciendo: La mano de nuestro Dios es para bien sobre todos los que le buscan; mas su fortaleza y su furor sobre todos los que le dejan.

King James Version

22For 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.

World English Bible

22For I was ashamed to ask of the king a band of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy on the way, because we had spoken to the king, saying, “The hand of our God is on all those who seek him, for good; but his power and his wrath is against all those who forsake him.”
