Ezra 8:21 in Context — Ezra 8
19 E a Hasabias, e com ele a Jesaías dos filhos de Merari, seus irmãos e a seus filhos, vinte;
20 E dos servos do templo, a quem Davi e os príncipes puseram para o trabalho dos Levitas, duzentos e vinte servos do templo; todos eles foram indicados por nome.
21 Então proclamei ali um jejum junto ao rio de Aava, para nos humilharmos diante de nosso Deus, para lhe pedirmos um caminho seguro para nós, nossos filhos, e todos os nossos bens.
22 Pois tive vergonha de pedir ao rei tropas e cavaleiros para nos defenderem do inimigo no caminho; porque tínhamos falado ao rei, dizendo: A mão de nosso Deus está para o bem sobre todos os que o buscam; mas sua força e ira está sobre todos os que o abandonam.
23 Assim jejuamos, e pedimos isto a nosso Deus; e ele atendeu a nossas orações.
