Genesis 31:39-41

Expanded Bible

³⁹ Any time an animal was killed by wild beasts, I did not bring it to you, but made up for the loss myself. You made me pay for any animal that was stolen during the day or night. ⁴⁰ In the daytime the ·sun [heat] ·took away my strength [^Lconsumed me], and at night I was cold and ·could not sleep [^Lsleep fled from my eyes]. ⁴¹ I [^Lwas in your house and] worked like a slave for you for twenty years—the first fourteen to get your two daughters and the last six to earn your flocks. During that time you changed my ·pay [wages] ten times.
