* Then Jacob was angry and rebuked Laban , and Jacob answered and said to Laban : "What is my trespass ? What is my sin , that you have so hotly pursued me ? * Although you have searched all my things , what part of your household things have you found ? Set it here before my brethren and your brethren , that they may judge between us both ! * 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 . * 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 . * There I was ! In the day the drought consumed me , and the frost by night , and my sleep departed from my eyes . * 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 . * Unless the God of my father , the God of Abraham and the Fear of Isaac , had been with me , surely now you would have sent me away empty-handed . God has seen my affliction and the labor of my hands , and rebuked you last night ."
