Even so, your father has cheated me. He broke our wage agreement ten times. However, God didn't allow him to harm me.
He's treating us like foreigners. He sold us and spent all of the money that rightfully belonged to us.
I've lived in your house these 20 years serving fourteen years for your two daughters and another six years for your flocks. During all that time you changed my wages ten times. If the God of my father the God of Abraham, the God whom Isaac feared had not been with me, you would have sent me away empty handed. But God saw my misery and how hard I've worked with my own hands and he rebuked you last night."
