Genesis 31:29-31

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

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.

³⁰ Suppose thou didst desire to go to thy friends, and hadst a longing after thy father's house: why hast thou stolen away my gods?

³¹ Jacob answered: That I departed unknown to thee, it was for fear lest thou wouldst take away thy daughters by force.
