Genesis 31:5

And said unto them, I see your father’s countenance, that it is not toward me as before; but the God of my father hath been with me.

Jacob called Rachel and Leah to him in the field at his flock to propose leaving Laban, and there he rehearsed the wrongs he had suffered and related the dream in which God directed him to leave for his kindred. He spoke after he had become distressed in danger and did not know which way to turn, when God answered him by telling him to return to the land of his fathers and to his kindred in Canaan with the promise to be with him.

When he said he saw that his father-in-law's countenance was not toward him as before, he meant that Laban's attitude toward him had changed from what it had been. That change came as Laban and his sons grew jealous of Jacob's prosperity. Against that hostility he set the fact that the God of his father had been with him, meaning God had remained with him, sustaining and protecting him so that Laban could not hurt him while he served Laban and faced deception.

He spelled out that faithfulness by explaining that he had served Laban with all his power while Laban deceived him and changed his wages ten times, yet God had not permitted Laban to hurt him. Because God had thus been with him, Jacob had confidence to leave as God directed and return to Canaan to his kindred.
