Genesis 31:1-7 ▼

1 Jacob heard that Laban's sons were complaining, |Jacob has taken everything that belonged to our father! He has gotten rich at our father's expense!|

2 When Jacob saw the look on Laban's face, he could tell his attitude toward him had changed.

3 The LORD said to Jacob, |Return to the land of your fathers and to your relatives. I will be with you.|

4 So Jacob sent a message for Rachel and Leah to come to the field where his flocks were.

5 There he said to them, |I can tell that your father's attitude toward me has changed, but the God of my father has been with me.

6 You know that I've worked for your father as hard as I could,

7 but your father has humiliated me and changed my wages ten times. But God has not permitted him to do me any harm.
