Genesis 31:6

Bible in Basic English 1965

And you have seen how I have done all in my power for your father,

See the chapter Copy

Give me my wives and my children, for whom I have been your servant, and let me go: for you have knowledge of all the work I have done for you.

Then Jacob said, You have seen what I have done for you, and how your cattle have done well under my care.

But your father has not kept faith with me, and ten times he has made changes in my payment; but God has kept him from doing me damage.

Servants, take orders from your masters with all respect; not only if they are good and gentle, but even if they are bad-humoured.
