10 Jabez invocou o Deus de Israel, dizendo: Oh! Tomara que me abençoes e me alargues as fronteiras, que seja comigo a tua mão e me preserves do mal, de modo que não me sobrevenha aflição! E Deus lhe concedeu o que lhe tinha pedido.

10 And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying: 'Oh that Thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my border, and that Thy hand might be with me, and that Thou wouldest work deliverance from evil, that it may not pain me!' And God granted him that which he requested.
