Genesis 31:33-42

33And LabanH3837 wentH935 into Jacob’sH3290 tentH168, and into Leah’sH3812 tentH168, and into the twoH8147 maidservantsH519’ tentsH168; but he foundH4672 them not. Then he went outH3318 of Leah’sH3812 tentH168, and enteredH935 into Rachel’sH7354 tentH168. 34Now RachelH7354 had takenH3947 the imagesH8655, and putH7760 them in the camel’sH1581 saddleH3733, and satH3427 upon them. And LabanH3837 searchedH4959 all the tentH168, but foundH4672 them not.1 35And she saidH559 to her fatherH1, Let it not displeaseH2734H5869 my lordH113 that I cannotH3201 rise upH6965 before theeH6440; for the customH1870 of womenH802 is upon me. And he searchedH2664, but foundH4672 not the imagesH8655.

36And JacobH3290 was angryH2734, and contendedH7378 with LabanH3837: and JacobH3290 answeredH6030 and saidH559 to LabanH3837, What is my trespassH6588? what is my sinH2403, that thou hast so hotly pursuedH1814 after meH310? 37ThoughH3588 thou hast searchedH4959 all my thingsH3627, what hast thou foundH4672 of all thy householdH1004 thingsH3627? setH7760 it hereH3541 before my brethrenH251 and thy brethrenH251, that they may judgeH3198 betweenH996 us bothH8147.2 38These twentyH6242 yearsH8141 have I been with thee; thy ewesH7353 and thy female goatsH5795 have not cast their youngH7921, and the ramsH352 of thy flockH6629 have I not eatenH398. 39That which was tornH2966 by beasts I broughtH935 not to thee; I bore the lossH2398 of it; of my handH3027 didst thou requireH1245 it, whether stolenH1589 by dayH3117, or stolenH1589 by nightH3915. 40Thus I was; in the dayH3117 the droughtH2721 consumedH398 me, and the frostH7140 by nightH3915; and my sleepH8142 departedH5074 from my eyesH5869. 41Thus have I been twentyH6242 yearsH8141 in thy houseH1004; I served theeH5647 fourteenH702H6240 yearsH8141 for thy twoH8147 daughtersH1323, and sixH8337 yearsH8141 for thy cattleH6629: and thou hast changedH2498 my wagesH4909 tenH6235 timesH4489. 42ExceptH3884 the GodH430 of my fatherH1, the GodH430 of AbrahamH85, and the fearH6343 of IsaacH3327, had been with me, surely thou hadst now sent me awayH7971 emptyH7387. GodH430 hath seenH7200 my afflictionH6040 and the labourH3018 of my handsH3709, and rebukedH3198 thee last nightH570.
