39 I did not bring you animals torn by wild beasts; I bore the loss myself. And you demanded payment from me for whatever was stolen(A) by day or night.(B) 40 This was my situation: The heat consumed me in the daytime and the cold at night, and sleep fled from my eyes.(C) 41 It was like this for the twenty years(D) I was in your household.
