Genesis 32:9-11
1599 Geneva Bible
9 ¶ Moreover Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, Lord, which (A)saidst unto me, Return unto thy country, and to thy kindred, and I will do thee good.
10 I am not [a]worthy of the least of all the mercies, and all the truth, which thou hast showed unto thy servant: for with my [b]staff came I over this Jordan, and now have I gotten two bands.
11 I pray thee, Deliver me from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I fear him, lest he will come and smite me, and the [c]mother upon the children.
