Genesis 31:6-11

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 1God 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.

9And 2God has taken away the cattle of your father, and given [them] to me.

10And it came to pass at the time of the ardour of the flocks, that I lifted up mine eyes, and saw in a dream, and behold, the rams that leaped upon the flocks were ringstraked, speckled, and spotted.

11And the Angel of 3God said to me in a dream, Jacob! And I said, Here am I.
