Genesis 31:25-28 ▼

25 Meanwhile, Jacob had pitched his tent on the mountain, where Laban had caught up with him. Laban and his relatives encamped on that same mountain in the hill country of Gilead, too.

26 Then Laban asked Jacob, |What did you do? You deceived me, carried off my daughters like you would war captives,

27 ran away from me secretly, and stole from me by not keeping me informed. Otherwise, I could have sent you off with a party and singing, accompanied by a band playing tambourines and harps.

28 As it is, you didn't even allow me to kiss my grandchildren and daughters goodbye! You've acted foolishly.
