1599 Geneva Bible
26 Then Laban said to Jacob, What hast thou done? [a]thou hast even stolen away mine heart and carried away my daughters as though they had been taken captives with the sword.
27 Wherefore diddest thou flee so secretly and steal away from me, and diddest not tell me, that I might have sent thee forth with mirth and with songs, with timbrell and with harp?
28 But thou hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and my daughters: now thou hast done foolishly in doing so.
