Genesis 32:9-11

New International Reader's Version

⁹ Then Jacob prayed, “You are the God of my grandfather Abraham. You are the God of my father Isaac. Lord, you are the one who said to me, ‘Go back to your country and your relatives. Then I will give you success.’ ¹⁰ You have been very kind and faithful to me. But I’m not worthy of any of this. When I crossed this Jordan River, all I had was my walking stick. But now I’ve become two camps. ¹¹ Please save me from the hand of my brother Esau. I’m afraid he’ll come and attack me and the mothers with their children.
