Jacob’s Flight from Laban
31:1 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!”
31:2 When Jacob saw the look on Laban’s face , he could tell his attitude toward him had changed.
31:3 The Lord said to Jacob , “Return to the land of your fathers and to your relatives . I will be with you.”
31:4 So Jacob sent a message for Rachel and Leah to come to the field where his flocks were.
31:5 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 .
31:6 You know that I’ve worked for your father as hard as I could ,
31:7 but your father has humiliated me and changed my wages ten times . But God has not permitted him to do me any harm .
