Genesis 31:39-41

The Voice

³⁹ When wild animals attacked, I didn’t bring the carcass to you to deal with; I bore the cost myself. You required me to cover any losses, whether the animals were stolen by day or night, and I did so. ⁴⁰ There I was—at your service—during the day I was hounded by heat; during the night I was cold and couldn’t get a good night’s sleep. ⁴¹ For 20 years, I have been in your household. I served you 14 of those years in return for your two daughters, and six years for your flock. And you have altered my payment 10 times.
