ISA-11:9 ...for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD,
 as the waters cover the sea.

GE-31:1 And he heard the words of Laban's sons, saying, Jacob


  • hath taken away
  • all that [was] our father's; and of [that] which [was] our
  • father's hath he
  • gotten all this glory.
  • GE-31:2 And Jacob beheld the countenance of Laban, and, behold,
  • it [was] not
  • toward him as before.
  • GE-31:3 And the LORD said unto Jacob, Return unto the land of
  • thy fathers,
  • and to thy kindred; and I will be with thee.
  • GE-31:4 And Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field
  • unto his
  • flock,
  • GE-31:5 And said unto them, I see your father's countenance,
  • that it [is] not
  • toward me as before; but the God of my father hath been with me.
  • GE-31:6 And ye know that with all my power I have served your
  • father.
  • GE-31:7 And your father hath deceived me, and changed my wages
  • ten times; but
  • God suffered him not to hurt me.
  • GE-31:8 If he said thus, The speckled shall be thy wages; then
  • all the cattle
  • bare speckled: and if he said thus, The ringstreaked shall be
  • thy hire; then
  • bare all the cattle ringstreaked.
  • GE-31:9 Thus God hath taken away the cattle of your father, and
  • given [them]
  • to me.
  • GE-31:10 And it came to pass at the time that the cattle
  • conceived, that I
  • lifted up mine eyes, and saw in a dream, and, behold, the rams
  • which leaped
  • upon the cattle [were] ringstreaked, speckled, and grisled.
  • GE-31:11 And the angel of God spake unto me in a dream,
  • [saying], Jacob: And
  • I said, Here [am] I.
  • GE-31:12 And he said, Lift up now thine eyes, and see, all the
  • rams which
  • leap upon the cattle [are] ringstreaked, speckled, and grisled:
  • for I have
  • seen all that Laban doeth unto thee.
  • GE-31:13 I [am] the God of Bethel, where thou anointedst the
  • pillar, [and]
  • where thou vowedst a vow unto me: now arise, get thee out from
  • this land, and
  • return unto the land of thy kindred.
  • GE-31:14 And Rachel and Leah answered and said unto him, [Is
  • there] yet any
  • portion or inheritance for us in our father's house?
  • GE-31:15 Are we not counted of him strangers? for he hath sold
  • us, and hath
  • quite devoured also our money.
  • GE-31:16 For all the riches which God hath taken from our
  • father, that [is]
  • ours, and our children's: now then, whatsoever God hath said
  • unto thee, do.
  • GE-31:17 Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives
  • upon camels;
  • GE-31:18 And he carried away all his cattle, and all his goods
  • which he had
  • gotten, the cattle of his getting, which he had gotten in
  • Padanaram, for to go
  • to Isaac his father in the land of Canaan.
  • GE-31:19 And Laban went to shear his sheep: and Rachel had
  • stolen the images
  • that [were] her father's.
  • GE-31:20 And Jacob stole away unawares to Laban the Syrian, in
  • that he told
  • him not that he fled.
  • GE-31:21 So he fled with all that he had; and he rose up, and
  • passed over the
  • river, and set his face [toward] the mount Gilead.
  • GE-31:22 And it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob was
  • fled.
  • GE-31:23 And he took his brethren with him, and pursued after
  • him seven days'
  • journey; and they overtook him in the mount Gilead.
  • GE-31:24 And God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night,
  • and said unto
  • him, Take heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.
  • GE-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.
  • GE-31:26 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?
  • GE-31:27 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?
  • GE-31:28 And hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and my
  • daughters? thou hast
  • now done foolishly in [so] doing.
  • GE-31:29 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.
  • GE-31:30 And now, [though] thou wouldest needs be gone, because
  • thou sore
  • longedst after thy father's house, [yet] wherefore hast thou
  • stolen my gods?
  • GE-31:31 And Jacob answered and said to Laban, Because I was
  • afraid: for I
  • said, Peradventure thou wouldest take by force thy daughters
  • from me.
  • GE-31:32 With whomsoever thou findest thy gods, let him not
  • live: before our
  • brethren discern thou what [is] thine with me, and take [it] to
  • thee. For
  • Jacob knew not that Rachel had stolen them.
  • GE-31:33 And Laban went into Jacob's tent, and into Leah's tent,
  • and into the
  • two maidservants' tents; but he found [them] not. Then went he
  • out of Leah's
  • tent, and entered into Rachel's tent.
  • GE-31:34 Now Rachel had taken the images, and put them in the
  • camel's
  • furniture, and sat upon them. And Laban searched all the tent,
  • but found
  • [them] not.
  • GE-31:35 And she said to her father, Let it not displease my
  • lord that I
  • cannot rise up before thee; for the custom of women [is] upon me.
  • And he
  • searched, but found not the images.
  • GE-31:36 And Jacob was wroth, and chided with Laban: and Jacob
  • answered and
  • said to Laban, What [is] my trespass? what [is] my sin, that
  • thou hast so
  • hotly pursued after me?
  • GE-31:37 Whereas thou hast searched all my stuff, what hast
  • thou found of all
  • thy household stuff? set [it] here before my brethren and thy
  • brethren, that
  • they may judge betwixt us both.
  • GE-31:38 This twenty years [have] I [been] with thee; thy ewes
  • and thy she
  • goats have not cast their young, and the rams of thy flock have
  • I not eaten.
  • GE-31:39 That which was torn [of beasts] I brought not unto
  • thee; I bare the
  • loss of it; of my hand didst thou require it, [whether] stolen
  • by day, or
  • stolen by night.
  • GE-31:40 [Thus] I was; in the day the drought consumed me, and
  • the frost by
  • night; and my sleep departed from mine eyes.
  • GE-31:41 Thus have I been twenty years in thy house; I served
  • thee fourteen
  • years for thy two daughters, and six years for thy cattle: and
  • thou hast
  • changed my wages ten times.
  • GE-31:42 Except the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and
  • the fear of
  • Isaac, had been with me, surely thou hadst sent me away now
  • empty. God hath
  • seen mine affliction and the labour of my hands, and rebuked
  • [thee]
  • yesternight.
  • GE-31:43 And Laban answered and said unto Jacob, [These]
  • daughters [are] my
  • daughters, and [these] children [are] my children, and [these]
  • cattle [are] my
  • cattle, and all that thou seest [is] mine: and what can I do
  • this day unto
  • these my daughters, or unto their children which they have born?
  • GE-31:44 Now therefore come thou, let us make a covenant, I and
  • thou; and let
  • it be for a witness between me and thee.
  • GE-31:45 And Jacob took a stone, and set it up [for] a pillar.
  • GE-31:46 And Jacob said unto his brethren, Gather stones; and
  • they took
  • stones, and made an heap: and they did eat there upon the heap.
  • GE-31:47 And Laban called it Jegarsahadutha: but Jacob called
  • it Galeed.
  • GE-31:48 And Laban said, This heap [is] a witness between me
  • and thee this
  • day. Therefore was the name of it called Galeed;
  • GE-31:49 And Mizpah; for he said, The LORD watch between me and
  • thee, when we
  • are absent one from another.
  • GE-31:50 If thou shalt afflict my daughters, or if thou shalt
  • take [other]
  • wives beside my daughters, no man [is] with us; see, God [is]
  • witness betwixt
  • me and thee.
  • GE-31:51 And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap, and behold
  • [this] pillar,
  • which I have cast betwixt me and thee;
  • GE-31:52 This heap [be] witness, and [this] pillar [be] witness,
  • that I will
  • not pass over this heap to thee, and that thou shalt not pass
  • over this heap
  • and this pillar unto me, for harm.
  • GE-31:53 The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of
  • their father,
  • judge betwixt us. And Jacob sware by the fear of his father
  • Isaac.
  • GE-31:54 Then Jacob offered sacrifice upon the mount, and
  • called his brethren
  • to eat bread: and they did eat bread, and tarried all night in
  • the mount.
  • GE-31:55 And early in the morning Laban rose up, and kissed his
  • sons and his
  • daughters, and blessed them: and Laban departed, and returned
  • unto his place.
