Genesis 31:33-42

33And LabanH3837 wentH3318 intoH935 Jacob’sH3290 tentH168, and intoH935 Leah’sH3812 tentH168, and intoH935 the tentH168 of the twoH8147 maidservants; but he foundH4672 them notH3808. And he wentH3318 outH3318 of Leah’sH3812 tentH168, and enteredH935 intoH935 Rachel’sH7354 tentH168.

34Now RachelH7354 had takenH3947 the teraphimH8655, and putH7760 them in the camel’sH1581 furniture, and satH3427 uponH5921 them. And LabanH3837 feltH4959 aboutH5921 allH3605 the tentH168, but foundH4672 them notH3808.

35And sheH3588 saidH559 to herH413 fatherH1, LetH408 notH3808 my lordH113 be angryH2734 that I cannotH3808 riseH6965 upH6965 beforeH6440 thee; for the mannerH1870 of womenH802 is uponH413 meH413. And he searchedH2664, but foundH4672 notH3808 the teraphimH8655.

36And JacobH3290 was wroth, and chode with LabanH3837: and JacobH3290 answeredH559 and saidH559 to LabanH3837, WhatH4100 is my trespass? whatH4100 is my sinH2403, that thou hast hotlyH1814 pursuedH1814 afterH310 meH310?

37Whereas thou hast feltH4959 aboutH1004 allH3605 my stuff, whatH4100 hast thou foundH4672 of allH3605 thy householdH1004 stuff? SetH7760 it hereH3541 beforeH5048 my brethrenH251 and thy brethrenH251, that they may judge betwixt usH3588 twoH8147.

38This twentyH6242 yearsH8141 have I been with thee; thy ewesH7353 and thy she-goats have notH3808 castH7921 their young, and the ramsH352 of thy flocksH6629 have I notH3808 eatenH398.

39That which was tornH2966 of beastsH2966 I broughtH935 notH3808 unto thee; I bare the lossH2398 of it; of my handH3027 didst thou requireH1245 it, whether stolenH1589 by dayH3117 or stolenH1589 by nightH3915.

40ThusH1961 I was; in the dayH3117 the drought consumedH398 meH398, and the frostH7140 by nightH3915; and my sleepH8142 fledH5074 from mine eyesH5869.

41TheseH2088 twentyH6242 yearsH8141 have I been in thy houseH1004; I servedH5647 thee fourteenH6240 yearsH8141 for thy twoH8147 daughtersH1323, and sixH8337 yearsH8141 for thy flockH6629: and thou hast changedH2498 my wagesH4909 tenH6235 timesH4489.

42ExceptH3588 the GodH430 of my fatherH1, the GodH430 of AbrahamH85, and the FearH6343 of IsaacH3327, had been with meH7971, surelyH3588 nowH6258 hadst thou sentH7971 meH7971 awayH7971 emptyH7387. GodH430 hath seenH7200 mine affliction and the labour of my handsH3709, and rebuked thee yesternight.
