Genesis 32:10-12
Living Bible
10 I am not worthy of the least of all your loving-kindnesses shown me again and again just as you promised me. For when I left home[a] I owned nothing except a walking stick! And now I am two armies! 11 O Lord, please deliver me from destruction at the hand of my brother Esau, for I am frightened—terribly afraid that he is coming to kill me and these mothers and my children. 12 But you promised to do me good, and to multiply my descendants until they become as the sands along the shores—too many to count.”

Genesis 32:10-12
New International Version
10 I am unworthy of all the kindness and faithfulness(A) you have shown your servant. I had only my staff(B) when I crossed this Jordan, but now I have become two camps.(C) 11 Save me, I pray, from the hand of my brother Esau, for I am afraid(D) he will come and attack me,(E) and also the mothers with their children.(F) 12 But you have said, ‘I will surely make you prosper and will make your descendants like the sand(G) of the sea, which cannot be counted.(H)’”
