Genesis 26:27-29
1599 Geneva Bible
27 To whom Isaac said, Wherefore come ye to me, seeing ye hate me and have put me away from you?
28 Who answered, We saw certainly that the Lord was with thee, and we thought thus, Let there be now an oath between us, even between us and thee, and let us make a covenant with thee.
29 [a]If thou shalt do us no hurt, as we have not touched thee, and as we have done unto thee nothing but good, and sent thee away in peace: thou now, the blessed of the Lord, do this.

- Genesis 26:29 The Hebrews in swearing begin commonly with If, and understand the rest, that is, that God shall punish him that breaketh the oath: here the wicked show that they are afraid lest that come to them which they would do to others.

New International Version
27 Isaac asked them, “Why have you come to me, since you were hostile to me and sent me away?(A)”
28 They answered, “We saw clearly that the Lord was with you;(B) so we said, ‘There ought to be a sworn agreement between us’—between us and you. Let us make a treaty(C) with you 29 that you will do us no harm,(D) just as we did not harm you but always treated you well and sent you away peacefully. And now you are blessed by the Lord.”(E)
