Genesis 31:40

I was consumed by scorching heat ¹  during the day and by piercing cold ²  at night, and I went without sleep. ³ 

This was my situation: The heat consumed me in the daytime and the cold at night, and sleep fled from my eyes.

" Thus I was: by day the heat consumed me and the frost by night, and my sleep fled from my eyes.

I worked for you through the scorching heat of the day and through cold and sleepless nights.

I was out in all kinds of weather, from torrid heat to freezing cold, putting in many a sleepless night.

This was my condition, wasted by heat in the day and by the bitter cold at night; and sleep went from my eyes.

It was like this with me: by day the heat consumed me, and the cold by night, and my sleep fled from my eyes.

" There I was! In the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night, and my sleep departed from my eyes.

I was consumed by scorching heat ¹  during the day and by piercing cold ²  at night, and I went without sleep. ³ 

¹ tn Or “by drought.”

² tn Heb “frost, ice,” though when contrasted with the חֹרֶב (khorev, “drought, parching heat”) of the day, “piercing cold” is more appropriate as a contrast.

³ tn Heb “and my sleep fled from my eyes.”
