Genesis 31:12

A church father on this verse
“We learn from this that whenever we bear people's wrongdoing meekly and mildly, we enjoy help from on high in a richer and more abundant measure. Accordingly, far from resisting those bent on abusing us, let us bear it nobly in the knowledge that the Lord of all will not forget us, provided we ourselves give evidence…”
John Chrysostom, 5th c. — HOMILIES ON GENESIS 57.13
