⁶ You both know that I have worked as hard as I could for your father, ⁷ but he cheated me and changed my pay ten times. But God has not allowed your father to harm me. ⁸ When Laban said, ‘You can have all the speckled animals as your pay,’ all the animals gave birth to speckled young ones. But when he said, ‘You can have all the streaked animals as your pay,’ all the flocks gave birth to streaked babies.
