“Because of the violence you did to your close relatives in Israel,1:10 Hebrew your brother Jacob. The names “Jacob” and “Israel” are often interchanged throughout the Old Testament, referring sometimes to the individual patriarch and sometimes to the nation. You will be filled with shame and destroyed forever.

Lord God my Father,

Protect me from wondering away from you, keep me close so your desire will rest on me in all things.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
