Genesis 31:27-29

21st Century King James Version

²⁷ Why didst thou flee away secretly, and steal away from me and didst not tell me, that I might have sent thee away with mirth and with songs, with taboret and with harp,

²⁸ and hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and my daughters? Thou hast now done foolishly in so doing.

²⁹ It is in the power of my hand to do you hurt; but the God of your father spoke unto me yesternight, saying, ‘Take thou heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.’
