Genesis 31:40-42

International Children’s Bible

⁴⁰ In the daytime the sun took away my strength. At night I was cold and could not sleep. ⁴¹ I worked like a slave for you for 20 years. For the first 14 years I worked to get your two daughters. The last 6 years I worked to earn your animals. And during that time you changed my pay ten times. ⁴² But the God of my father was with me. He is the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac. If God had not been with me, you would have sent me away with nothing. But he saw the trouble I had and the hard work I did. And last night God corrected you.”
