Genesis 30:28-43 And he said, Appoint me your wages, and I will give it.… A Divine benediction is always invisibly breathed on painful and lawful diligence. Thus the servant employed in making and blowing of the fire, though sent away thence as soon as it burneth clear, ofttimes getteth by his pains a more kindly and continuing heat than the master himself who sitteth down by the same; and thus persons industriously occupying themselves thrive better on a little of their own honest getting than lazy heirs on the large revenues left unto them. (Fuller.) Parallel Verses KJV: And he said, Appoint me thy wages, and I will give it. |
