highlighted Genesis 31:3-7 ESV

Then the Lord said to Jacob, "Return to the land of your fathers and to your kindred, and I will be with you."So Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah into the field where his flock wasand said to them, "I see that your father does not regard me with favor as he did before. But the God of my father has been with me.You know that I have served your father with all my strength,yet your father has cheated me and changed my wages ten times. But God did not permit him to harm me.
