Genesis 32:9-12
New American Standard Bible
9 Then Jacob said, “(A)God of my father Abraham and God of my father Isaac, Lord, who said to me, ‘(B)Return to your country and to your relatives, and I will [a]make you prosper,’ 10 [b]I am unworthy (C)of all the [c]favor and of all the [d]faithfulness, which You have shown to Your servant; for with only my staff I crossed this Jordan, and now I have become two companies. 11 (D)Save me, please, (E)from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau; for I fear him, that he will come and [e]attack me and the (F)mothers with the children. 12 For You said, ‘(G)I will assuredly [f]make you prosper and (H)make your [g]descendants as the sand of the sea, which is too great to be counted.’”

King James Version
9 And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, the Lord which saidst unto me, Return unto thy country, and to thy kindred, and I will deal well with thee:
10 I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all the truth, which thou hast shewed unto thy servant; for with my staff I passed over this Jordan; and now I am become two bands.
11 Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I fear him, lest he will come and smite me, and the mother with the children.
12 And thou saidst, I will surely do thee good, and make thy seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.
