Genesis 31:38-42
English Standard Version
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. (A)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. (B)I served you fourteen years for your two daughters, and six years for your flock, and (C)you have changed my wages ten times. 42 (D)If the God of my father, the God of Abraham and the (E)Fear of Isaac, had not been on my side, surely now you would have sent me away empty-handed. (F)God saw my affliction and the labor of my hands and (G)rebuked you last night.”
