Genesis 32:9-12
New King James Version
9 (A)Then Jacob said, (B)“O God of my father Abraham and God of my father Isaac, the Lord (C)who said to me, ‘Return to your country and to your family, and I will deal well with you’: 10 I am not worthy of the least of all the (D)mercies and of all the truth which You have shown Your servant; for I crossed over this Jordan with (E)my staff, and now I have become two companies. 11 (F)Deliver me, I pray, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau; for I fear him, lest he come and [a]attack me and (G)the mother with the children. 12 For (H)You said, ‘I will surely treat you well, and make your descendants as the (I)sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.’ ”
