New King James Version

Genesis 31:1-7 New King James Version (NKJV)

1. Now Jacob heard the words of Laban’s sons, saying, “Jacob has taken away all that was our father’s, and from what was our father’s he has acquired all this wealth.”

2. And Jacob saw the countenance of Laban, and indeed it was not favorable toward him as before.

3. Then the Lord said to Jacob, “Return to the land of your fathers and to your family, and I will be with you.”

4. So Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field, to his flock,

5. and said to them, “I see your father’s countenance, that it is not favorable toward me as before; but the God of my father has been with me.

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

7. Yet your father has deceived me and changed my wages ten times, but God did not allow him to hurt me.
