⁶ You know that with all my strength I have served your father^(A)

³⁸ I’ve been with you these twenty years. Your ewes and female goats have not miscarried, and I have not eaten the rams from your flock. ³⁹ I did not bring you any of the flock torn by wild beasts; I myself bore the loss. You demanded payment from me for what was stolen by day or by night. ⁴⁰ There I was – the heat consumed me by day and the frost by night, and sleep fled from my eyes.
