For I was ashamed to ask from the king an armed force and horsemen to save us from an enemy on the road, because we had spoken to the king, saying, "The hand of our God is for good upon all who seek him, but his power and wrath are against all who forsake him."
Ezra's shame is theological and rhetorical: he will not contradict his public witness to the king about the effective care and judgment of God.
