Genesis 31:42-44
Lexham English Bible
42 If the God of my father, the God of Abraham and the Fear of Isaac had not been with me, indeed now you would have sent me away empty-handed. God saw my misery and the labor of my hands and rebuked you last night.” 43 Then Laban answered and said to Jacob, “The daughters are my daughters and the grandsons[a] are my grandsons,[b] and the flocks are my flocks, and all that you see, it is mine. Now, what can I do for these my daughters today, or for their children whom they have borne? 44 So now, come, let us make[c] a covenant, you and I, and let it be a witness between me and you.”

New International Version
42 If the God of my father,(A) the God of Abraham(B) and the Fear of Isaac,(C) had not been with me,(D) you would surely have sent me away empty-handed. But God has seen my hardship and the toil of my hands,(E) and last night he rebuked you.(F)”
43 Laban answered Jacob, “The women are my daughters, the children are my children, and the flocks are my flocks.(G) All you see is mine. Yet what can I do today about these daughters of mine, or about the children they have borne? 44 Come now, let’s make a covenant,(H) you and I, and let it serve as a witness between us.”(I)
