Genesis 31:1-6 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

1. But afterwards, he heard the words of the sons of Laban, saying, "Jacob has taken all that was our father's, and being enlarged by his ability, he has become famous."

2. Likewise, he observed that Laban's face was not the same toward him as it was yesterday and the day before.

3. Most importantly, the Lord was saying to him, "Return to the land of your fathers and to your generation, and I will be with you."

4. He sent and called for Rachel and Leah, in the field where he pastured the flocks,

5. and he said to them: "I see that your father's face is not the same toward me as it was yesterday and the day before. But the God of my father has been with me.

6. And you know that I have served your father with all my strength.
