Genesis 31:36-42 ▼

36 And Jacob's anger burned, and he strove with Laban. And Jacob answered and said to Laban, “What is my trespass? What is my sin, that you have so hotly pursued after me?

37 For you have felt about all my things, what have you found of all the things of your house? Set it here before my brothers and your brothers, that they may judge between the two of us.

38 These twenty years I have been with you; your ewes and your female goats have not miscarried, and the rams of your flock I have not eaten.

39 That which was torn I did not bring to you; I bore the loss of it. From my hand you required it, whether stolen by day or stolen by night.

40 There I was: In the day the drought consumed me, and the frost in the night, and my sleep fled from my eyes.

41 This is my twentieth year in your house. I served you four and ten years for your two daughters, and six years for your flock, and you have changed my wage ten times.

42 Unless the God of my father, the God of Abraham and the Fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely now you would have sent me away empty. God has seen, my affliction and the toil of my hands and He judged last night.”
