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.—Genesis, xxxii. 27, 28.
Truly God is good to Israel.—Psalm lxxiii. 1.
He that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.—Psalm cxxi. 4.
For the Lord will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land.—Isaiah, xiv. 1.
Whilst Pharoah’s pride withstood,
His pools turned poison, and his Nile ran blood,
From whose corrupting channel, moist and warm,
Leaped forth the frogs, a foul, offensive swarm;
No place was sheltered from their loathsome tread,
The festive banquet, nor the bridal bed.
