Genesis 31:7-9

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁷ and that he has cheated me and changed my wages 10 times. But God has not let him harm me. ⁸ If he said, ‘The spotted sheep will be your wages,’ then all the sheep were born spotted. If he said, ‘The streaked sheep will be your wages,’ then all the sheep were born streaked.^{(A) 9} God has taken away your father’s herds and given them to me.
