Genesis 31:28-30
1599 Geneva Bible
28 But thou hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and my daughters: now thou hast done foolishly in doing so.
29 I am [a]able to do you evil: but the [b]God of your father spake unto me yesternight, saying, Take heed that thou speak not to Jacob ought save good.
30 Now though thou wentest thy way, because thou greatly longedst after thy father’s house, yet wherefore hast thou stolen my gods?
