Genesis 31:38-40

International Standard Version

³⁸ Meanwhile, these past 20 years that I’ve been with you, your sheep and goats never had miscarriages, I never once ate any of the rams from your flock, ³⁹ and whatever was torn by beasts, I never bothered to bring to you. Instead, I bore the losses myself. Even so, you demanded that I provide restitution for anything that was stolen, whether during the day or the night. ⁴⁰ As it was, I was attacked by drought during the day and by cold at night. I never got any decent rest.
