Genesis 31:38-41
[38]These twenty years I have been with you; your ewes and your female goats have not miscarried their young, and I have not eaten the rams of your flock. [39]That which was torn by beasts I did not bring to you; I bore the loss of it. You required it from my hand, whether stolen by day or stolen by night. [40]There I was! In the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night, and my sleep departed from my eyes. [41]Thus I have been in your house twenty years; I served you fourteen years for your two daughters, and six years for your flock, and you have changed my wages ten times.
