Genesis 31:36-42

36Then JacobH3290 became incensedH2734 and challengedH7378 LabanH3837H6030. “WhatH4100 is my crimeH6588?” heH3290 saidH559. “For whatH4100 sin of mineH2403 have you so hotly pursuedH1814 meH310? 37You have searchedH4959 allH3605 my goodsH3627H4100! Have you foundH4672 anythingH3605 that belongs to youH3627H1004? PutH7760 it hereH3541 beforeH5048 my brothersH251 and yoursH251, that they may judgeH3198 betweenH996 the two of usH8147.

38I haveH595 been withH5973 you forH2088 twentyH6242 years nowH8141. Your sheepH7353 and goatsH5795 have notH3808 miscarriedH7921, nor have IH3808 eatenH398 the ramsH352 of your flockH6629. 39I did notH3808 bringH935 youH413 anything torn by wild beastsH2966; IH595 bore the loss myselfH2398. And you demandedH1245 payment from meH3027 for what was stolenH1589 by dayH3117H1589 or nightH3915. 40As it wasH1961, the heatH2721 consumed meH398 by dayH3117 and the frostH7140 by nightH3915, and sleepH8142 fledH5074 from my eyesH5869.

41ThusH2088 for twentyH6242 yearsH8141 I have servedH5647 in your householdH1004—fourteenH702H6240 yearsH8141 for your twoH8147 daughtersH1323 and sixH8337 yearsH8141 for your flocksH6629—and you have changedH2498 my wagesH4909 tenH6235 timesH4489! 42If the GodH430 of my fatherH1, the GodH430 of AbrahamH85 and the FearH6343 of IsaacH3327, had notH3884 beenH1961 with me, surelyH3588 by nowH6258 you would have sent me awayH7971 empty-handedH7387. But GodH430 has seenH7200 my afflictionH6040 and the toilH3018 of my handsH3709, and last nightH570 He rendered judgmentH3198.”
