What Goes Around, Comes Around

Genesis 29:25
And it came to pass, that in the morning, behold, it was Leah: and he said to Laban, What is this thou hast done unto me? did not I serve with thee for Rachel? wherefore then hast thou beguiled me?

Galatians 6:7
Be not deceived; G-d is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

In our every day language I believe this is a prime example of "what goes around, comes around." Jacob found himself in the same predicament he had placed his brother in, seven years earlier. Don't think it has to be the exact same circumstances or people to experience the same "end of the stick" in our dealings. Jacob, the youngest had hidden his identity to his father for the blessing, at his mother's behest; and now his mother's brother hid his daughter's identity. We really do reap what we sow, sooner or later, one way or another. If we're astute, we hopefully won't have to learn that lesson more than once.
