Genesis 31:36-42

English Standard Version

³⁶ Then Jacob became angry and berated Laban. Jacob said to Laban, “What is my offense? What is my sin, that you have hotly pursued me? ³⁷ For you have felt through all my goods; what have you found of all your household goods? Set it here before my kinsmen and ^(A)your kinsmen, that they may decide between us two. ³⁸ These twenty years I have been with you. Your ewes and your female goats have not miscarried, and I have not eaten the rams of your flocks. ³⁹ What was torn by wild beasts I did not bring to you. I bore the loss of it myself. ^(B)From my hand you required it, whether stolen by day or stolen by night. ⁴⁰ There I was: by day the heat consumed me, and the cold by night, and my sleep fled from my eyes. ⁴¹ These twenty years I have been in your house. ^(C)I served you fourteen years for your two daughters, and six years for your flock, and ^(D)you have changed my wages ten times. ^42 (E)If the God of my father, the God of Abraham and the ^(F)Fear of Isaac, had not been on my side, surely now you would have sent me away empty-handed. ^(G)God saw my affliction and the labor of my hands and ^(H)rebuked you last night.”
