Genesis 45:5-8
45:5 Now, do not be upset and do not be angry with yourselves because you sold me here,
for God sent me
ahead of you to preserve life!
45:6 For these past two years there has been famine in
the land and for five more years there will be neither plowing nor harvesting.
45:7 God sent me
ahead of you to preserve you
on the earth and to save your lives
by a great deliverance.
45:8 So now, it is not you who sent me here, but God. He has made me an adviser
to Pharaoh, lord over all his household, and ruler over all the land of Egypt.
Genesis 45:2
45:2 He wept loudly;
the Egyptians heard it and Pharaoh’s household heard about it.
Genesis 32:20-26
32:20 You must also say, ‘In fact your servant Jacob is behind us.’”
Jacob thought,
“I will first appease him
by sending a gift ahead of me.
After that I will meet him.
Perhaps he will accept me.”
32:21 So the gifts were sent on ahead of him
while he spent that night in the camp.
32:22 During the night Jacob quickly took his two wives, his two female servants, and his eleven sons and crossed the ford of the Jabbok.
32:23 He took them and sent them across the stream along with all his possessions.
32:24 So Jacob was left alone. Then a man wrestled with him until daybreak.
32:25 When the man saw that he could not defeat Jacob, he struck the socket of his hip so the socket of Jacob’s hip was dislocated while he wrestled with him.
32:26 Then the man said, “Let me go, for the dawn is breaking.” “I will not let you go,” Jacob replied, “unless you bless me.”
Job 22:28-30
22:28 Whatever you decide on a matter,
it will be established for you,
and light will shine on your ways.
22:29 When people are brought low and you say
‘Lift them up!’
then he will save the downcast;
22:30 he will deliver even someone who is not innocent,
who will escape through the cleanness of your hands.”
Ecclesiastes 9:15
9:15 However, a poor but wise man lived in the city,
and he could have delivered the city by his wisdom,
but no one listened to that poor man.
Isaiah 58:12
58:12 Your perpetual ruins will be rebuilt;
you will reestablish the ancient foundations.
You will be called, ‘The one who repairs broken walls,
the one who makes the streets inhabitable again.’
Daniel 4:27
4:27 Therefore, O king, may my advice be pleasing to you. Break away from your sins by doing what is right, and from your iniquities by showing mercy to the poor. Perhaps your prosperity will be prolonged.”
