Genesis 31:40 in Context — Genesis 31
38 Voilà vingt ans que j’ai passés chez toi; tes brebis et tes chèvres n’ont point avorté, et je n’ai point mangé les béliers de ton troupeau.
39 Je ne t’ai point rapporté de bêtes déchirées, j’en ai payé le dommage; tu me redemandais ce qu’on me volait de jour et ce qu’on me volait de nuit.
40 La chaleur me dévorait pendant le jour, et le froid pendant la nuit, et le sommeil fuyait de mes yeux.
41 Voilà vingt ans que j’ai passés dans ta maison; je t’ai servi quatorze ans pour tes deux filles, et six ans pour ton troupeau, et tu as changé dix fois mon salaire.
42 Si je n’eusse pas eu pour moi le Dieu de mon père, le Dieu d’Abraham, celui que craint Isaac, tu m’aurais maintenant renvoyé à vide. Dieu a vu ma souffrance et le travail de mes mains, et hier il a prononcé son jugement.
