Genesis 34:31

AngerJustice

29 They carried off all their possessions and women and children, and they plundered everything in their houses.

30 Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, “You have brought trouble upon me by making me a stench to the Canaanites and Perizzites, the people of this land. We are few in number; if they unite against me and attack me, I and my household will be destroyed.”

But they replied, “Should he have treated our sister like a prostitute?”
