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?

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?

And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely the fear of God is not in this place; and they will slay me for my wife's sake.

The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe.
