  • Gen 31:38-42 : 38 I have been with you for twenty years now. Your sheep and goats have not miscarried, and I have not eaten rams from your flocks. 39 I did not bring you animals torn by wild beasts; I bore the loss myself. And you demanded payment from me for whatever was stolen by day or night. 40 This was my situation: The heat consumed me in the daytime, and the cold at night, and sleep fled from my eyes. 41 It was like this for the twenty years I was in your household. I worked for you fourteen years for your two daughters and six years for your flocks, and you changed my wages ten times. 42 If the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the Fear of Isaac had not been with me, you would surely have sent me away empty-handed. But God has seen my hardship and the toil of my hands, and last night he rebuked you.

    29'If you take this one also from me and harm comes to him, you will bring my gray hair down to the grave in sorrow.'

    30So now, if I come to your servant, my father, and the boy is not with us—since his life is so closely bound up with the boy's life—

    31it will happen that when he sees the boy is not with us, he will die. Then your servants will have brought down the gray hair of your servant, our father, in sorrow to the grave.

    32For your servant took responsibility for the boy before my father, saying, 'If I do not bring him back to you, then I shall bear the blame before my father all my life.'

    33Now, therefore, please let your servant remain here as a slave to my lord in place of the boy, and let the boy return with his brothers.

    34For how can I go back to my father if the boy is not with me? I could not bear to see the misery that would come upon my father.
