Genesis 31:40 in Context — Genesis 31

38 Estes vinte anos estive contigo; tuas ovelhas e tuas cabras nunca abortaram, nem eu comi carneiro de tuas ovelhas.

39 Nunca te trouxe o arrebatado pelas feras; eu pagava o dano; o furtado tanto de dia como de noite, de minha mão o exigias.

40 De dia me consumia o calor, e de noite a geada, e o sono se fugia de meus olhos.

41 Assim estive vinte anos em tua casa: catorze anos te servi por tuas duas filhas, e seis anos por teu gado; e mudaste meu salário dez vezes.

42 Se o Deus de meu pai, o Deus de Abraão, e o temor de Isaque, não fossem comigo, certamente me enviarias agora vazio; Deus viu minha aflição e o trabalho de minhas mãos, e repreendeu-te de noite.
