Genesis 31:26-30

New Revised Standard NRS

26 Laban said to Jacob, "What have you done? You have deceived me, and carried away my daughters like captives of the sword.

27 Why did you flee secretly and deceive me and not tell me? I would have sent you away with mirth and songs, with tambourine and lyre.

28 And why did you not permit me to kiss my sons and my daughters farewell? What you have done is foolish.

29 It is in my power to do you harm; but the God of your father spoke to me last night, saying, "Take heed that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad.'

30 Even though you had to go because you longed greatly for your father's house, why did you steal my gods?"

New International Version NIV

26 Then Laban said to Jacob, “What have you done? You’ve deceived me, and you’ve carried off my daughters like captives in war.

27 Why did you run off secretly and deceive me? Why didn’t you tell me, so I could send you away with joy and singing to the music of timbrels and harps?

28 You didn’t even let me kiss my grandchildren and my daughters goodbye. You have done a foolish thing.

29 I have the power to harm you; but last night the God of your father said to me, ‘Be careful not to say anything to Jacob, either good or bad.’

30 Now you have gone off because you longed to return to your father’s household. But why did you steal my gods?”
