6. And you know that I have served your father with all my strength.
7. Even so, your father has circumvented me, and he has changed my wages ten times. And yet God has not permitted him to harm me.
8. Whenever he said, 'The speckled will be your wages,' all the sheep gave birth to speckled newborns. Yet truly, when he said the contrary, 'You will take whatever is white for your wages,' all the flocks gave birth to white ones.
9. And it is God who has taken your father's substance and given it to me.
