³ And Abram said, “Behold, you have given me no offspring, and ^(A)a member of my household will be my heir.”

¹⁴ When Abram heard that his kinsman had been taken captive, he led forth his trained men, ^(A)born in his house, 318 of them, and went in pursuit as far as ^(B)Dan.

⁷ I bought male and female slaves, and had ^(A)slaves who were born in my house. I had also great possessions of ^(B)herds and flocks, more than any who had been before me in Jerusalem.

³⁵ Therefore do not throw away your confidence, which has ^(A)a great reward. ³⁶ For ^(B)you have need of endurance, so that ^(C)when you have done the will of God you may ^(D)receive what is promised.

Jeremiah's Complaint

^16 (A)I will make your offspring as the dust of the earth, so that if one can count the dust of the earth, your offspring also can be counted.

^2 (A)And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing.
