Genesis 31 talks about Jacob fleeing his father in law. He feels mistreated, after having toiled for payment for both of his wives. He feels gipped. Yet, God blessed him with wealth. To flee this oppression, he decided to go back to his father Isaac.

Psalm 13 is pretty interesting, in that it is a short Psalm. the first few verses are rhetorical questions to God that I can sympathize with. The last part starts with "...but", meaning to contrast what was presented in the first part of the Psalm.

Matthew 5 continues with Jesus contrasting the "old Law" with what is a reformed outlook to the principles of righteousness.
