40 The dry heat consumed me during the day, and the frost at night; I couldn’t sleep.
41 I’ve now spent twenty years in your household. I worked for fourteen years for your two daughters and for six years for your flock, and you changed my pay ten times.
42 If the God of my father—the God of Abraham and the awesome one of Isaac—hadn’t been with me, you’d have no doubt sent me away without anything. God saw my harsh treatment and my hard work and reprimanded you yesterday."
43 Laban responded and told Jacob, "The daughters are my daughters, the children are my children, and the flocks are my flocks. Everything you see is mine. But what can I do now about my daughters and about their sons?
44 Come, let’s make a treaty, you and me, and let something be our witness."
45 So Jacob took a stone, set it up as a sacred pillar,
46 and said to his relatives, "Gather stones." So they took stones, made a mound, and ate there near the mound.
