Genesis 31:40-42

Good News Translation

⁴⁰ Many times I suffered from the heat during the day and from the cold at night. I was not able to sleep. ⁴¹ It was like that for the whole twenty years I was with you. For fourteen years I worked to win your two daughters—and six years for your flocks. And even then, you changed my wages ten times. ⁴² If the God of my fathers, the God of Abraham and Isaac, had not been with me, you would have already sent me away empty-handed. But God has seen my trouble and the work I have done, and last night he gave his judgment.”
