Genesis 29:30-33
29:30 Jacob
had marital relations
with Rachel as well. He loved Rachel more than Leah, so he worked for Laban
for seven more years.
The Family of Jacob
29:31 When the Lord saw that Leah was unloved, he enabled her to become pregnant while Rachel remained childless.
29:32 So Leah became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She named him Reuben, for she said, “The Lord has looked with pity on my oppressed condition. Surely my husband will love me now.”
29:33 She became pregnant again and had another son. She said, “Because the Lord heard that I was unloved, he gave me this one too.” So she named him Simeon.
Ecclesiastes 2:17
2:17 So I loathed life because what
happens on earth seems awful to me;
for all the benefits of wisdom are futile – like chasing the wind.
Luke 14:26
14:26 “If anyone comes to me and does not hate
his own father and mother, and wife and children, and brothers and sisters, and even his own life,
he cannot be my disciple.
