New King James Version

Genesis 31:5-9 New King James Version (NKJV)

5. and said to them, “I see your father’s countenance, that it is not favorable toward me as before; but the God of my father has been with me.

6. And you know that with all my might I have served your father.

7. Yet your father has deceived me and changed my wages ten times, but God did not allow him to hurt me.

8. If he said thus: ‘The speckled shall be your wages,’ then all the flocks bore speckled. And if he said thus: ‘The streaked shall be your wages,’ then all the flocks bore streaked.

9. So God has taken away the livestock of your father and given them to me.
