Genesis 31 — Context

Now it came to the ears of Jacob that Laban's sons were saying, Jacob has taken away all our father's property, and in this way he has got all this wealth.

And Jacob saw that Laban's feeling for him was no longer what it had been before.

Then the Lord said to Jacob, Go back to the land of your fathers, and to your relations, and I will be with you.

And Jacob sent for Rachel and Leah to come to him in the field among his flock.

And he said to them, It is clear to me that your father's feeling is no longer what it was to me; but the God of my father has been with me

And you have seen how I have done all in my power for your father,

But your father has not kept faith with me, and ten times he has made changes in my payment; but God has kept him from doing me damage.
