Genesis 31:28 in context

  1. 26Laban said to Jacob, “What have you done, that you have deceived me, and carried away my daughters like captives of the sword?
  2. 27Why did you flee secretly, and deceive me, and didn’t tell me, that I might have sent you away with mirth and with songs, with tambourine and with harp;
  3. 28and didn’t allow me to kiss my sons and my daughters? Now have you done foolishly.
  4. 29It is in the power of my hand to hurt you, but the God of your father spoke to me last night, saying, ‘Be careful that you don’t speak to Jacob either good or bad.’
  5. 30Now, you want to be gone, because you greatly longed for your father’s house, but why have you stolen my gods?”
