Genesis 32:8-10

Good News Translation

⁸ He thought, “If Esau comes and attacks the first group, the other may be able to escape.”

⁹ Then Jacob prayed, “God of my grandfather Abraham and God of my father Isaac, hear me! You told me, Lord, to go back to my land and to my relatives, and you would make everything go well for me. ¹⁰ I am not worth all the kindness and faithfulness that you have shown me, your servant. I crossed the Jordan with nothing but a walking stick, and now I have come back with these two groups.
