Genesis 31:1-8

1And he heard the words of Laban's sons, saying, Jacob has taken away all that was our father's, and of what was our father's he has acquired all this glory.

2And Jacob saw the countenance of Laban, and behold, it was not toward him as previously.

3And Jehovah said to Jacob, Return into the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred; and I will be with thee.

4And Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the fields to his flock,

5and said to them, I see your father's countenance, that it is not toward me as previously; but the 1God of my father has been with me.

6And you know that with all my power I have served your father.

7And your father has mocked me, and has changed my wages ten times; but 2God suffered him not to hurt me.

8If he said thus; The speckled shall be thy hire, then all the flocks bore speckled; and if he said thus: The ringstraked shall be thy hire, then all the flocks bore ringstraked.
