1 Esdras

1 Esdras 1:27

οὐχὶ πρός σε ἐξαπέσταλμαι ὑπὸ Κυρίου τοῦ Θεοῦ· ἐπὶ γὰρ τοῦ Εὐφράτου ὁ πόλεμός μου ἐστί. καὶ νῦν Κύριος μετ᾿ ἐμοῦ ἐστι, καὶ Κύριος μετ᾿ ἐμοῦ ἐπισπεύδων ἐστίν· ἀπόστηθι καὶ μὴ ἐναντιοῦ τῷ Κυρίῳ.
King James Version (KJV)

I am not sent out from the Lord God against thee; for my war is upon Euphrates: and now the Lord is with me, yea, the Lord is with me hasting me forward: depart from me, and be not against the Lord.

Modern English

I was not sent against you by the Lord God; my war is at the Euphrates. The Lord is with me now, the Lord is urging me on — withdraw, and do not oppose the Lord."
