And Jacob answered and said to Laban, Because I was afraid. For I said, Lest by force you take your daughters from me.
And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely the fear of God is not in this place, and they will kill me for my wife’s sake.
And now longing you have gone because you have longed after your father’s house. Why have you stolen my gods?
With whomever you find your gods, he shall not live before our brothers here. See for yourself what is with me, and take it to you. For Jacob did not know that Rachel had stolen them.
The fear of man brings a snare, but he trusting Jehovah is set on high.
