Genesis 31:39-41

Good News Translation

³⁹ Whenever a sheep was killed by wild animals, I always bore the loss myself. I didn't take it to you to show that it was not my fault. You demanded that I make good anything that was stolen during the day or during the night. ⁴⁰ Many times I suffered from the heat during the day and from the cold at night. I was not able to sleep. ⁴¹ It was like that for the whole twenty years I was with you. For fourteen years I worked to win your two daughters—and six years for your flocks. And even then, you changed my wages ten times.
