38 These twenty years I was with you; your ewes and your female goats did not miscarry, and the rams of your flocks I did not eat.
39 I brought no mangled carcass to you—I bore its loss. From my hand you sought it, whether stolen by day or stolen by night.
40 There I was, during the day the heat consumed me, and the cold by night, and my sleep fled from my eyes.
41 These twenty years I have been in your house. I served you fourteen years for your two daughters and six years for your flock, and you have changed my wages ten times.
42 If the God of my father, the God of Abraham and the Fear of Isaac had not been with me, indeed now you would have sent me away empty-handed. God saw my misery and the labor of my hands and rebuked you last night.”
43 Then Laban answered and said to Jacob, “The daughters are my daughters and the grandsons are my grandsons, and the flocks are my flocks, and all that you see, it is mine. Now, what can I do for these my daughters today, or for their children whom they have borne?
44 So now, come, let us make a covenant, you and I, and let it be a witness between me and you.”
