Genesis 31:6

New International Reader's Version

You know that I’ve worked for your father with all my strength.

See the chapter Copy

Give me my wives and children. I worked for you to get them. So I’ll be on my way. You know how much work I’ve done for you.”

Jacob said to him, “You know how hard I’ve worked for you. You know that your livestock has done better under my care.

But your father has cheated me. He has changed my pay ten times. In spite of everything that’s happened, God hasn’t let him harm me.

Slaves, obey your masters out of deep respect for God. Obey not only those who are good and kind. Obey also those who are not kind.
