Genesis 31:42-44
Legacy Standard Bible
42 If (A)the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the dread of Isaac, had not been for me, surely now you would have sent me away empty. (B)God has seen my affliction and the toil of my hands, so He (C)rendered the decision last night.”
The Covenant at Mizpah
43 Then Laban answered and said to Jacob, “The daughters are my daughters, and the children are my children, and (D)the flocks are my flocks, and all that you see is mine. But what can I do this day to these daughters of mine or to their children whom they have borne? 44 So now come, let us (E)cut a covenant, [a]you and I, and (F)let it be a witness between [b]you and me.”

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)
