Genesis 30:28-32 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

28. Then Laban said, “Name your wages, and I will pay them.”

29. So Jacob said to him, “You know what I have done for you and your herds.

30. For you had very little before I came, but now your wealth has increased. The Lord has blessed you because of me. And now, when will I also do something for my own family? ”

31. Laban asked, “What should I give you? ”And Jacob said, “You don’t need to give me anything. If you do this one thing for me, I will continue to shepherd and keep your flock.

32. Let me go through all your sheep today and remove every sheep that is speckled or spotted, every dark-colored sheep among the lambs, and the spotted and speckled among the female goats. Such will be my wages.
