⁹ And Jacob said, “O ^(A)God of my father Abraham and God of my father Isaac, O Yahweh, who said to me, ‘^(B)Return to your land and to your kin, and I will ^[a]prosper you,’ ^10 [b]I am unworthy ^(C)of all the lovingkindness and of all the truth which You have shown to Your slave; for with my staff only I crossed this Jordan, and now I have become two camps. ^11 (D)Deliver me, I pray, ^(E)from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau; for I fear him, lest he come and strike me down with the ^(F)mothers and the children. ¹² For You said, ‘^(G)I will surely ^[c]prosper you and ^(H)make your seed as the sand of the sea, which is too great to be numbered.’”

Jeremiah’s Plea

^6 (A)Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by ^(B)prayer and petition with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. ⁷ And ^(C)the peace of God, which surpasses all ^[a]comprehension, will ^(D)guard your hearts and your ^(E)minds in ^(F)Christ Jesus.
