Genesis 31:27-29

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁷ Why wouldst thou run away privately and not acquaint me, that I might have brought thee on the way with joy, and with songs, and with timbrels, and with harps?

²⁸ Thou hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and daughters: thou hast done foolishly: and now, indeed,

²⁹ It is in my power to return thee evil: but the God of your father said to me yesterday: Take heed thou speak not any thing harshly against Jacob.
