10 Jabes invocou o Deus de Israel: Se vós me abençoardes, alargando meus limites, se vossa mão estiver comigo para me preservar da desgraça e me poupar da aflição!... E Deus lhe concedeu o que tinha pedido.

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.
