Genesis 31:25-29
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 31
25
And Laban caught up with Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the hill country, and Laban with his kinsmen camped in the hill country of Gilead.
26
Then Laban said to Jacob, 'What have you done by deceiving me and carrying away my daughters like captives of the sword?
27
Why did you flee secretly and deceive me, and did not tell me, so that I might have sent you away with joy and with songs, with tambourine and with lyre;
28
and did not allow me to kiss my grandchildren and my daughters? Now you have done foolishly.
29
It is in my power to do you harm, but the God of your father spoke to me last night, saying, ‘ Be careful not to speak either good or bad to Jacob.’
King James Version
Chapter 31
25
Then Laban overtook Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mount: and Laban with his brethren pitched in the mount of Gilead.
26
And Laban said to Jacob, What hast thou done, that thou hast stolen away unawares to me, and carried away my daughters, as captives taken with the sword?
27
Wherefore didst thou flee away secretly, and steal away from me; and didst not tell me, that I might have sent thee away with mirth, and with songs, with tabret, and with harp?
28
And hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and my daughters? thou hast now done foolishly in so doing.
29
It is in the power of my hand to do you hurt: but the God of your father spake unto me yesternight, saying, Take thou heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 31
25
When Laban overtook Jacob, Jacob had pitched his tent in the hill country, and Laban and his relatives also pitched their tents in the hill country of Gilead.
26
Laban said to Jacob, "What have you done? You have deceived me and taken my daughters away like prisoners of war!
27
Why did you secretly flee from me, deceive me, and not tell me? I would have sent you away with joy and singing, with tambourines and lyres,
28
but you didn’t even let me kiss my grandchildren and my daughters. You have acted foolishly.
29
I could do you great harm, but last night the God of your father said to me: ‘Watch yourself! Don’t say anything to Jacob, either good or bad.’
New Living Translation
Chapter 31
25
Laban caught up with Jacob as he was camped in the hill country of Gilead, and he set up his camp not far from Jacob’s.
26
What do you mean by deceiving me like this?' Laban demanded. 'How dare you drag my daughters away like prisoners of war?
27
Why 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.
28
Why didn’t you let me kiss my daughters and grandchildren and tell them good-bye? You have acted very foolishly!
29
I could destroy you, but the God of your father appeared to me last night and warned me, ‘Leave Jacob alone!’
English Standard Version

25
And Laban overtook Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the hill country, and Laban with his kinsmen pitched tents in the hill country of Gilead.
26
And Laban said to Jacob, "What have you done, that you have tricked me and driven away my daughters like captives of the sword?
27
Why did you flee secretly and trick me, and did not tell me, so that I might have sent you away with mirth and songs, with tambourine and lyre?
28
And why did you not permit me to kiss my sons and my daughters farewell? Now you have done foolishly.
29
It is in my power to do you harm. But the God of your father spoke to me last night, saying, ‘Be careful not to say anything to Jacob, either good or bad.’
New International Version
Chapter 31
25
Jacob had pitched his tent in the hill country of Gilead when Laban overtook him, and Laban and his relatives camped there too.
26
Then Laban said to Jacob, "What have you done? You’ve deceived me, and you’ve carried off my daughters like captives in war.
27
Why did you run off secretly and deceive me? Why didn’t you tell me, so I could send you away with joy and singing to the music of timbrels and harps?
28
You didn’t even let me kiss my grandchildren and my daughters goodbye. You have done a foolish thing.
29
I have the power to harm you; but last night the God of your father said to me, ‘Be careful not to say anything to Jacob, either good or bad.’
New King James Version
Chapter 31
25
So Laban overtook Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mountains, and Laban with his brethren pitched in the mountains of Gilead.
26
And Laban said to Jacob: “What have you done, that you have stolen away unknown to me, and carried away my daughters like captives
taken
with the sword?
27
Why did you flee away secretly, and steal away from me, and not tell me; for I might have sent you away with joy and songs, with timbrel and harp?
28
And you did not allow me to kiss my sons and my daughters. Now you have done foolishly in
so
doing.
29
It is in my power to do you harm, but the God of your father spoke to me last night, saying, ‘Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad.’
