Genesis 31:39-41
1599 Geneva Bible
39 [a]Whatsoever was torn of beasts, I brought it not unto thee, but made it good myself: (A)of mine hand diddest thou require it, were it stolen by day, or stolen by night.
40 I was in the day consumed with heat, and with frost in the night, and my [b]sleep departed from mine eyes.
41 Thus have I been twenty years in thine house, and served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years for thy sheep, and thou hast changed my wages ten times.

Genesis 31:39-41
New International Version
39 I did not bring you animals torn by wild beasts; I bore the loss myself. And you demanded payment from me for whatever was stolen(A) by day or night.(B) 40 This was my situation: The heat consumed me in the daytime and the cold at night, and sleep fled from my eyes.(C) 41 It was like this for the twenty years(D) I was in your household. I worked for you fourteen years for your two daughters(E) and six years for your flocks,(F) and you changed my wages(G) ten times.(H)
