10 Jabets invocò lIddio dIsraele, dicendo: "Oh se tu mi benedicessi e allargassi i miei confini, e se la tua mano fosse meco e se tu mi preservassi dal male in guisa chio non avessi da soffrire!" E Dio gli concedette quello che avea chiesto.

10 And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying, Oh that thou wouldest richly bless me, and enlarge my border, and that thy hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God brought about what he had requested.
