1. And he heard the words of Laban's sons, saying, Jacob has taken away all that was our father's; and of that which was our father's has he gotten all this wealth.
2. And Jacob beheld the countenance of Laban, and, behold, it was not toward him as before.
3. And the LORD said unto Jacob,
4. And Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field unto his flock,
5. And said unto them, I see your father's countenance, that it is not toward me as before; but the God of my father has been with me.
6. And you know that with all my power I have served your father.
7. And your father has deceived me, and changed my wages ten times; but God permitted him not to hurt me.
8. If he said thus, The speckled shall be your wages; then all the cattle bore speckled: and if he said thus, The striped shall be your wages; then bore all the flock striped.
