Ezra 7:28
As the hand, etc. - If God gives us his hand, we are bold and chearful: if he withdraws it, we are weak as water. Whatever service we are enabled to do for God and our generation, God must have all the glory of it.
26 Whoever will not observe the law of your God and the law of the king, let judgment be executed speedily on him, whether it be death, or1 banishment, or confiscation of goods, or imprisonment.
27 aBlessed1 be the Lord God of our fathers, bwho has put such a thing as this in the king’s heart, to beautify the house of the Lord which is in Jerusalem,
28 and ahas extended mercy to me before the king and his counselors, and before all the king’s mighty princes. So I was encouraged, as bthe hand of the Lord my God was upon me; and I gathered leading men of Israel to go up with me.
