Genesis 31:38-40
1599 Geneva Bible
38 This twenty years I have been with thee: thine ewes and thy goats have not [a]cast their young, and the rams of thy flock have I not eaten.
39 [b]Whatsoever was torn of beasts, I brought it not unto thee, but made it good myself: (A)of mine hand diddest thou require it, were it stolen by day, or stolen by night.
40 I was in the day consumed with heat, and with frost in the night, and my [c]sleep departed from mine eyes.

38 “I have been with you for twenty years now.(A) Your sheep and goats have not miscarried,(B) nor have I eaten rams from your flocks. 39 I did not bring you animals torn by wild beasts; I bore the loss myself. And you demanded payment from me for whatever was stolen(C) by day or night.(D) 40 This was my situation: The heat consumed me in the daytime and the cold at night, and sleep fled from my eyes.(E)
