Genesis 31:1-8
1And he heardH8085 the wordsH1697 of Laban’sH3837 sonsH1121, sayingH559, JacobH3290 hath taken awayH3947 all that was our father’sH1; and of that which was our father’sH1 hath he obtainedH6213 all this gloryH3519.
2And JacobH3290 beheldH7200 the countenanceH6440 of LabanH3837, and, behold, it was not toward him asH8543 beforeH8032.1
3And the LORDH3068 saidH559 to JacobH3290, ReturnH7725 to the landH776 of thy fathersH1, and to thy kindredH4138; and I will be with thee.
4And JacobH3290 sentH7971 and calledH7121 RachelH7354 and LeahH3812 into the fieldH7704 to his flockH6629,
5And saidH559 to them, I seeH7200 your father’sH1 countenanceH6440, that it is not toward me asH8543 beforeH8032; but the GodH430 of my fatherH1 hath beenH1961 with me.
6And yeH859 knowH3045 that with all my powerH3581 I have servedH5647 your fatherH1.
7And your fatherH1 hath deceivedH2048 me, and changedH2498 my wagesH4909 tenH6235 timesH4489; but GodH430 allowed himH5414 not to hurtH7489 meH5978.
8If he saidH559 thus, The speckledH5348 shall be thy wagesH7939; then all the cattleH6629 boreH3205 speckledH5348: and if he saidH559 thus, The stripedH6124 shall be thy hireH7939; then all the cattleH6629 boreH3205 stripedH6124.
