Genesis 31:27-29
Living Bible
27 Why didn’t you give me a chance to have a farewell party, with singing and orchestra and harp? 28 Why didn’t you let me kiss my grandchildren and tell them good-bye? This is a strange way to act. 29 I could crush you, but the God of your father appeared to me last night and told me, ‘Be careful not to be too hard on Jacob!’

New International Version
27 Why did you run off secretly and deceive me? Why didn’t you tell me,(A) so I could send you away with joy and singing to the music of timbrels(B) and harps?(C) 28 You didn’t even let me kiss my grandchildren and my daughters goodbye.(D) You have done a foolish thing. 29 I have the power to harm you;(E) but last night the God of your father(F) said to me, ‘Be careful not to say anything to Jacob, either good or bad.’(G)
