Genesis 27:41-46

       41.   And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his father blessed him: and Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then will I slay my brother Jacob.
      42   And these words of Esau her elder son were told to Rebekah: and she sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said unto him, Behold, thy brother Esau, as touching thee, doth comfort himself, purposing to kill thee.
      43   Now therefore, my son, obey my voice; and arise, flee thou to Laban my brother to Haran;
      44   And tarry with him a few days, until thy brother's fury turn away;
      45   Until thy brother's anger turn away from thee, and he forget that which thou hast done to him: then I will send, and fetch thee from thence: why should I be deprived also of you both in one day?
      46   And Rebekah said to Isaac, I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth: if Jacob take a wife of the daughters of Heth, such as these which are of the daughters of the land, what good shall my life do me?

Genesis 28:13-15

       13   And, behold, the LORD stood above it, and said, I am the LORD God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed;
      14   And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
      15   And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of.

Genesis 31:11-13

       11   And the angel of God spake unto me in a dream, saying, Jacob: And I said, Here am I.
      12   And he said, Lift up now thine eyes, and see, all the rams which leap upon the cattle are ringstraked, speckled, and grisled: for I have seen all that Laban doeth unto thee.
      13   I am the God of Bethel, where thou anointedst the pillar, and where thou vowedst a vow unto me: now arise, get thee out from this land, and return unto the land of thy kindred.

Genesis 32:1-8

       1.   And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.
      2   And when Jacob saw them, he said, This is God's host: and he called the name of that place Mahanaim.
      3.   And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother unto the land of Seir, the country of Edom.
      4   And he commanded them, saying, Thus shall ye speak unto my lord Esau; Thy servant Jacob saith thus, I have sojourned with Laban, and stayed there until now:
      5   And I have oxen, and asses, flocks, and menservants, and womenservants: and I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find grace in thy sight.
      6   And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to thy brother Esau, and also he cometh to meet thee, and four hundred men with him.
      7   Then Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed: and he divided the people that was with him, and the flocks, and herds, and the camels, into two bands;
      8   And said, If Esau come to the one company, and smite it, then the other company which is left shall escape.

Genesis 32:9-12

       9.   And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, the LORD which saidst unto me, Return unto thy country, and to thy kindred, and I will deal well with thee:
      10   I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all the truth, which thou hast shewed unto thy servant; for with my staff I passed over this Jordan; and now I am become two bands.
      11   Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I fear him, lest he will come and smite me, and the mother with the children.
      12   And thou saidst, I will surely do thee good, and make thy seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.

Genesis 32:13-23

       13.   And he lodged there that same night; and took of that which came to his hand a present for Esau his brother;
      14   Two hundred she goats, and twenty he goats, two hundred ewes, and twenty rams,
      15   Thirty milch camels with their colts, forty kine, and ten bulls, twenty she asses, and ten foals.
      16   And he delivered them into the hand of his servants, every drove by themselves; and said unto his servants, Pass over before me, and put a space betwixt drove and drove.
      17   And he commanded the foremost, saying, When Esau my brother meeteth thee, and asketh thee, saying, Whose art thou? and whither goest thou? and whose are these before thee?
      18   Then thou shalt say, They be thy servant Jacob's; it is a present sent unto my lord Esau: and, behold, also he is behind us.
      19   And so commanded he the second, and the third, and all that followed the droves, saying, On this manner shall ye speak unto Esau, when ye find him.
      20   And say ye moreover, Behold, thy servant Jacob is behind us. For he said, I will appease him with the present that goeth before me, and afterward I will see his face; peradventure he will accept of me.
      21   So went the present over before him: and himself lodged that night in the company.
      22   And he rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two womenservants, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford Jabbok.
      23   And he took them, and sent them over the brook, and sent over that he had.

      26   And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.
      27   And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.
      28   And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.
      29   And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there.
      30   And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.

Hosea 11:1-3

       1.   When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.
      2   As they called them, so they went from them: they sacrificed unto Baalim, and burned incense to graven images.
      3   I taught Ephraim also to go, taking them by their arms; but they knew not that I healed them.

Hosea 12:3

Luke 18:1-8

       1.   And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;
      2   Saying, There was in a city a judge, which feared not God, neither regarded man:
      3   And there was a widow in that city; and she came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine adversary.
      4   And he would not for a while: but afterward he said within himself, Though I fear not God, nor regard man;
      5   Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.
      6   And the Lord said, Hear what the unjust judge saith.
      7   And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?
      8   I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?
