Genesis 31:38-42 This twenty years’ time, have, I, been with thee––Thy ewes and thy she–goats, have not cast their young,––And the rams of thy flock, have I not eaten,

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ³⁸ This twenty years’ time, have, I, been with thee––Thy ewes and thy she–goats, have not cast their young,––And the rams of thy flock, have I not eaten, ³⁹ The torn, have I not brought in unto thee––I, bare the loss, At my hand, didst thou require it,––Stolen by day, or stolen by night. ⁴⁰ Thus have I been––By day, drought hath consumed me, And, frost, by, night,––So that my sleep fled away from mine eyes. ⁴¹ This, hath been my lot twenty years, in thy house,––I served thee fourteen years, for thy two daughters, And six years, for thy sheep––And thou didst change my wages ten times:–– ⁴² But that the God of my father––The God of Abraham, and the Dread of Isaac––Proved to be mine, Surely, even now, empty, hadst thou let me go? My humiliation and the wearying toil of my hands, God had seen, And therefore gave sentence last night!
