37 And Jacob took himself rods of green poplar, and of the hazel and chestnut tree; and peeled thereon white streaks, laying bare the white which was on the rods.
38 And he set the rods which he had peeled in the gutters in the watering troughs, where the flocks came to drink, just before the flocks, and where they conceived, when they came to drink.
39 And the flocks conceived before the rods, and brought forth ring-streaked, speckled, and spotted.
40 And these lambs did Jacob separate, and set the faces of the flocks toward the ring-streaked, and whatever was brown in the flock of Laban; and he put his own flocks by themselves, and put them not with Laban’s cattle.
41 And it came to pass, whensoever the stronger cattle did conceive, that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the cattle in the gutters, that they might conceive among the rods.
42 But when the cattle were feeble, he put them not in; so the feebler belonged to Laban, and the stronger to Jacob.
43 And the man increased exceedingly, and he had many flocks, and maid-servants, and men-servants, and camels, and asses.

Ecclesiastes 12:1-14
1 But remember also thy Creator in the days of thy youthful vigor, while the evil days are not yet come, nor those years draw nigh of which thou wilt say, I have no pleasure in them;
2 While the sun, and the light, and the moon, and the stars, are not yet darkened, and the clouds return not again after the rain;
3 On the day when the watchmen of the house will tremble and the men of might will bend themselves, and the grinders stand idle, because they are become few, and those be darkened that look through the windows;
4 And when the two doors on the streets will be locked, while the sound of the mill becometh dull, and man riseth up at the voice of the bird, and all the daughters of song are brought low;
5 Also when men will be afraid of every elevation, and are terrified on every way, and the almond-tree will refuse its blossom, and the locust will drag itself slowly along, and the desire will gainsay compliance; because man goeth to his eternal home, and the mourners go about the streets;
6 While the silver cord is not yet torn loose, and the golden bowl is not crushed, and the pitcher is not broken at the fountain, and the wheel is not crushed at the cistern;
7 When the dust will return to the earth as it was, and the spirit will return unto God who gave it.—
8 Vanity of vanities, saith Koheleth: all is vanity.—
9 And in addition to this that Koheleth was wise, he continually also taught the people knowledge, and he probed, and searched out, and composed many proverbs.
10 Koheleth sought to find out acceptable words, and that which would be written down uprightly, even words of truth.
11 The words of the wise are like goads, and like nails fastened are the words of the men of the assemblies, which are given by one shepherd.
12 But more than all these, my son, take warning for thyself: the making of many books would have no end; and much preaching is a weariness of the flesh.
13 The end of the matter is, let us hear the whole: Fear God, and keep his commandments; for this is the whole duty of man.
14 For every deed will God bring into the judgment concerning every thing that hath been hidden, whether it be good, or whether it be bad.
