Genesis 31:26-28

Lexham English Bible

²⁶ Then Laban said to Jacob, “What have you done that you tricked me^[a] and have carried off my daughters like captives of the sword? ²⁷ Why did you hide your intention to flee and trick me,^[b] and did not tell me so that I would have sent you away with joy and song and tambourine and lyre? ²⁸ And why did you not give me opportunity to kiss my grandsons^[c] and my daughters goodbye? Now you have behaved foolishly by doing this.
