Ezra 7:27-28
Blessed <01288> [Blessed.]
There is a most amiable spirit of piety in these reflections. Instead of expatiating on the praises of his munificent patron, or boasting of his own services, he blesses God for "putting such a thing in the king's heart;" and for all the assistance and favour shown him by the king and his counsellors.
so ........ king <05414 04428> [put such.]
heart .... king <03820 04428> [in the king's heart.]
honor <06286> [to beautify.]
He .... conferred <05186> [extended.]
advisers <03289> [his counsellors.]
strength <02388> [And I was strengthened.]
In what the king decreed he saw the hand of God: he therefore gave Him the praise, and took courage.
hand <03027> [as the hand.]
