Genesis 31:27-29 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

27. Why did you sneak away without telling me? I would have given you a going-away party with singing and with music on tambourines and harps.

28. You didn't even give me a chance to kiss my own grandchildren and daughters goodbye. That was really foolish.

29. I could easily hurt you, but the God your father worshipped has warned me not to make any threats or promises.
