Verse 21 is found in chapter 8 of Ezra. Ezra proclaims a fast by the river to humble themselves before God and ask for protection during the journey. He had spoken to the king about God’s favorable hand and now seeks to live according to that confidence. Prayer and fasting express dependence on God rather than reliance solely on military resources.
