“Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him.”
King James Version (KJV)
51:2 Him alone - To follow me to an unknown land: him only of all his kindred. Increased - Into a vast multitude, when his condition was desperate in the eye of reason. And therefore God can as easily raise his church when they are in the most forlorn condition.
Looke vnto Abraham your father, and vnto Sarah that bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him.
