Genesis 31:26-28

27Why did you slip away secretly? Why did you deceive me? And why didn’t you say you wanted to leave? I would have given you a farewell feast, with singing and music, accompanied by tambourines and harps.

28Why didn’t you let me kiss my daughters and grandchildren and tell them good-bye? You have acted very foolishly!
