What have you done to me? . . . Why have you tricked me?—Gen. 29:25.

 

Servants of Jehovah in Bible times faced challenges that they did not expect. Consider Jacob. He was commanded by his father to take a wife from the daughters of Laban, a believing relative, and was assured that Jehovah would bless him richly. (Gen. 28:1-4) So Jacob did the right thing. He left the land of Canaan and journeyed to the home of Laban, who had two daughters—Leah and Rachel. Jacob fell in love with Laban’s younger daughter, Rachel, and agreed to work seven years for her father before marrying her. (Gen. 29:18) But matters did not turn out as Jacob had hoped. Laban tricked him into marrying his older daughter, Leah. Laban allowed Jacob to marry Rachel a week later, but only if he worked seven more years. (Gen. 29:26, 27) Laban was also unfair in his business dealings with Jacob. In all, Laban exploited Jacob for 20 years!—Gen. 31:41, 42. w23.04 15 ¶5

That's going to be an interesting conversation when they are resurrected and realize that everyone knows what happened..
