37. And searched all my household stuff? What hast thou found of all the substance of thy house? lay it here before my brethren, and thy brethren, and let them judge between me and thee.
38. Have I therefore been with thee twenty years? thy ewes and goats were not barren, the rams of thy flocks I did not eat:
