That is why he appeared to you last night and rebuked you!”

Thus have I been twenty years in thy house; I served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years for thy cattle: and thou hast changed my wages ten times.

God hath seen mine affliction and the labour of my hands, and rebuked thee yesternight.
