Genesis 31:33-42

33And LabanH3837 wentH3318 into Jacob's tentH168, and into Leah's tentH168, and into the twoH8147 handmaids' tentsH168, and foundH4672 nothing; and he wentH3318 out of Leah's tentH168, and entered into Rachel's tentH168.

34Now RachelH7354 had takenH3947 the teraphimH8655 and putH7760 them under the camel's saddle; and she satH3427 upon them. And LabanH3837 explored all the tentH168, but foundH4672 nothing.

35And she saidH559 to her fatherH1, Let it not be an occasion of anger in the eyesH5869 of my lordH113 that I cannot riseH6965 up before thee, for it is with me after the manner of womenH802. And he searchedH2664 carefully, but did not findH4672 the teraphimH8655.

36And JacobH3290 was angryH2734, and he disputed with LabanH3837. And JacobH3290 answered and saidH559 to LabanH3837, What is my fault, what my sinH2403, that thou hast so hotlyH1814 pursued after me?

37Whereas thou hast explored all my baggage, what hast thou foundH4672 of all thy householdH1004 stuff? SetH7760 [it] here before my brethren and thy brethren, and let them decideH3198 between us both.

38These twentyH6242 yearsH8141 have I been with thee: thy ewesH7353 and thy she-goats have not cast their young, and the ramsH352 of thy flockH6629 I have not eatenH398.

39What was tornH2966 I have not broughtH935 to thee; I had to bear the loss of it: of my handH3027 hast thou requiredH1245 it, [whether] stolenH1589 by dayH3117 or stolenH1589 by nightH3915.

40Thus it wasH1961 with me: in the dayH3117 the heat consumedH398 me, and the frostH7140 by nightH3915; and my sleepH8142 fledH5074 from mine eyesH5869.

41I have been these twentyH6242 yearsH8141 in thy houseH1004: I have servedH5647 thee fourteen yearsH8141 for thy twoH8147 daughtersH1323, and sixH8337 yearsH8141 for thy flockH6629; and thou hast changedH2498 my wagesH4909 tenH6235 times.

42Had not the 1GodH430 of my fatherH1, the 2GodH430 of AbrahamH85, and the fearH6343 of IsaacH3327, beenH1961 with me, it is certain thou wouldest have sentH7971 me awayH7971 nowH6258 emptyH7387. 3GodH430 has lookedH7200 upon my affliction and the labour of my handsH3709, and has judged lastH570 nightH570.
