1 But afterwards, he heard the words of the sons of Laban, saying, “Jacob has taken all that was our father’s, and being enlarged by his ability, he has become famous.” 2 Likewise, he observed that Laban’s face was not the same toward him as it was yesterday and the day before. 3 Most importantly, the Lord was saying to him, “Return to the land of your fathers and to your generation, and I will be with you.” 4 He sent and called for Rachel and Leah, in the field where he pastured the flocks, 5 and he said to them: “I see that your father’s face is not the same toward me as it was yesterday and the day before. But the God of my father has been with me. 6 And you know that I have served your father with all my strength. 7 Even so, your father has circumvented me, and he has changed my wages ten times. And yet God has not permitted him to harm me. Genesis 31:1-7, Catholic Public Domain Version. Public domain.
