Genesis 31:4-9

New International Version

⁴ So Jacob sent word to Rachel and Leah to come out to the fields where his flocks were. ⁵ He said to them, “I see that your father’s^(A) attitude toward me is not what it was before,^(B) but the God of my father has been with me.^{(C) 6} You know that I’ve worked for your father with all my strength,^{(D) 7} yet your father has cheated^(E) me by changing my wages^(F) ten times.^(G) However, God has not allowed him to harm me.^{(H) 8} If he said, ‘The speckled ones will be your wages,’ then all the flocks gave birth to speckled young; and if he said, ‘The streaked ones will be your wages,’^(I) then all the flocks bore streaked young. ⁹ So God has taken away your father’s livestock^(J) and has given them to me.^(K)
