Genesis 31:27-29

New American Standard Bible

²⁷ Why did you flee secretly and ^[a]deceive me, and did not tell me, so that I might have sent you away with joy and with songs, with ^(A)tambourine and with ^(B)lyre; ²⁸ and did not allow me ^(C)to kiss my ^[b]grandchildren and my daughters? Now you have done foolishly. ²⁹ It is in ^[c]my power to do you harm, but ^(D)the God of your father spoke to me last night, saying, ‘^[d](E)Be careful not to speak either good or bad to Jacob.’
