“And hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and my daughters? thou hast now done foolishly in so doing.”
You didn't even let me kiss my grandchildren and my daughters goodbye. You have done a foolish thing. The emotional appeal to grandchildren and daughters is genuine even if the framing is manipulative. Laban loves his family; his grief at the sudden departure is real. The application: the people who have harmed us most are often also people with genuine loves and tender human feelings. Both can be true.
