Jacob heard that Laban's sons were saying, "Jacob has taken everything that belonged to our father. He got all his wealth from what our father owned."
2
He also saw that Laban was no longer as friendly as he had been earlier.
3
Then the Lord said to him, "Go back to the land of your fathers and to your relatives. I will be with you."
4
So Jacob sent word to Rachel and Leah to meet him in the field where his flocks were.
5
He said to them, "I have noticed that your father is not as friendly toward me as he used to be; but my father's God has been with me.
6
You both know that I have worked for your father with all my strength.

Yet he has cheated me and changed my wages ten times. But God did not let him harm me.
