1 Jacob heard that Laban's sons were saying, |Jacob has taken everything that belonged to our father and has gained all his wealth from him.| 2 He also noticed that Laban did not appear as friendly to him as before. 3 Then the LORD said to Jacob, |Go back to the land of your ancestors and to your relatives, and I will be with you.| 4 So Jacob sent a message to Rachel and Leah to come out to the open country where his flocks were. 5 He said to them, |I have seen that your father isn't as friendly to me as he was before, but the God of my father has been with me. 6 You know that I have worked as hard as I could for your father. 7 Your father has cheated me. He has changed my wages ten times. But God hasn't let him harm me. Genesis 31:1-7, God's Word Translation. Copyright © 1995 by God's Word to the Nations.
