Ezra 8:22-28 For I was ashamed to require of the king a band of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy in the way… Pastor Oncken was forbidden by the burgomaster of Hamburg from holding religious meetings. "Do you see that little finger?" said the burgomaster; "as long as I can move that finger, so long will I put down the Baptists." "Yes," said Oncken, "I see your little finger, and I see also the great arm of God; and whilst that arm is lifted on our behalf, your little finger will have little terror for us. Parallel Verses KJV: 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. |
