9 Jabez was more honorable than his brothers. His mother named him Jabez, saying, "Because I bore him with sorrow."
10 Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, "Oh that you would bless me indeed, and enlarge my border! May your hand be with me, and may you keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain!"
God granted him that which he requested.

9 Jaebez aber war herrlicher denn seine Brüder; und seine Mutter hieß ihn Jaebez, denn sie sprach: Ich habe ihn mit Kummer geboren.
10 Und Jaebez rief den Gott Israels an und sprach: Ach, daß du mich segnetest und meine Grenze mehrtest und deine Hand mit mir wäre und schafftest mit dem Übel, daß mich's nicht bekümmere! Und Gott ließ kommen, was er bat.
