10 Mas Jabes orou assim ao Deus de Israel: "Ó Deus, abençoa-me e dá-me muitas terras. Fica comigo e livra-me de qualquer coisa que possa me causar dor." E Deus atendeu a sua oração.

10 And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou would bless me indeed and enlarge my border and that thy hand might be with me and that thou would deliver [me] from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested.
