Genesis 31:38-42
I’ve been with you these 20 years. Your ewes and female goats have not miscarried, and I have not eaten the rams from your flock.I did not bring you any of the flock torn by wild beasts; I myself bore the loss. You demanded payment from me for what was stolen by day or by night.There I was— the heat consumed me by day and the frost by night, and sleep fled from my eyes.For 20 years I have worked in your household— 14 years for your two daughters and six years for your flocks— and you have changed my wages 10 times!If the God of my father, the God of Abraham, the Fear of Isaac, had not been with me, certainly now you would have sent me off empty-handed. But God has seen my affliction and my hard work, and He issued His verdict last night.”
