Genesis 31:6-8
1599 Geneva Bible
6 And ye know that I have served your father with all my might,
7 But your father hath deceived me, and changed my wages [a]ten times: but God suffered him not to hurt me.
8 If he thus said, The spotted shall be thy wages, then all the sheep bare spotted: and if he said thus, the parti-colored shall be thy reward, then bare all the sheep parti-colored.
