Genesis 29:15Laban said to him, “Just because you are my relative, should you work for nothing? Tell me what your wages should be.”Genesis 29:16Now Laban had two daughters; the older was named Leah, and the younger was named Rachel.Genesis 29:17Leah had weak eyes, but Rachel was shapely and beautiful.Genesis 29:18Since Jacob loved Rachel, he answered, “I will serve you seven years for your younger daughter Rachel.”Genesis 29:19Laban replied, “Better that I give her to you than to another. Stay here with me.”Genesis 29:20So Jacob served seven years for Rachel, yet it seemed but a few days because of his love for her.Genesis 29:21Finally Jacob said to Laban, “Grant me my wife, for my time is complete, and I want to sleep with her.”Genesis 29:22So Laban invited all the men of that place and prepared a feast.Genesis 29:23But when evening came, Laban took his daughter Leah and gave her to Jacob, and he slept with her.Genesis 29:24And Laban gave his servant girl Zilpah to his daughter Leah as her maidservant.Genesis 29:25When morning came, there was Leah! “What have you done to me?” Jacob said to Laban. “Wasn’t it for Rachel that I served you? Why have you deceived me?”Genesis 29:26Laban replied, “It is not our custom here to give the younger daughter in marriage before the older.Genesis 29:27Finish this week’s celebration, and we will give you the younger one in return for another seven years of work.”Genesis 29:28And Jacob did just that. He finished the week’s celebration, and Laban gave him his daughter Rachel as his wife.Genesis 29:29Laban also gave his servant girl Bilhah to his daughter Rachel as her maidservant.Genesis 29:30Jacob slept with Rachel as well, and indeed, he loved Rachel more than Leah. So he worked for Laban another seven years.Genesis 30:28And he added, “Name your wages, and I will pay them.”Genesis 30:29Then Jacob answered, “You know how I have served you and how your livestock have thrived under my care.Genesis 30:30Indeed, you had very little before my arrival, but now your wealth has increased many times over. The LORD has blessed you wherever I set foot. But now, when may I also provide for my own household?”Genesis 30:31“What can I give you?” Laban asked. “You do not need to give me anything,” Jacob replied. “If you do this one thing for me, I will keep on shepherding and keeping your flocks.Genesis 30:32Let me go through all your flocks today and remove from them every speckled or spotted sheep, every dark-colored lamb, and every spotted or speckled goat. These will be my wages.Genesis 30:33So my honesty will testify for me when you come to check on my wages in the future. If I have any goats that are not speckled or spotted, or any lambs that are not dark-colored, they will be considered stolen.”Genesis 30:34“Agreed,” said Laban. “Let it be as you have said.”Genesis 31:7And although he has cheated me and changed my wages ten times, God has not allowed him to harm me.Genesis 31:41Thus for twenty years I have served in your household—fourteen years for your two daughters and six years for your flocks—and you have changed my wages ten times!Leviticus 19:13You must not defraud your neighbor or rob him. You must not withhold until morning the wages due a hired hand.Deuteronomy 24:14Do not oppress a hired hand who is poor and needy, whether he is a brother or a foreigner residing in one of your towns.Deuteronomy 24:15You are to pay his wages each day before sunset, because he is poor and depends on them. Otherwise he may cry out to the LORD against you, and you will be guilty of sin.Deuteronomy 25:4Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain.Jeremiah 22:13“Woe to him who builds his palace by unrighteousness, and his upper rooms without justice, who makes his countrymen serve without pay, and fails to pay their wages,Haggai 1:6You have planted much but harvested little. You eat but never have enough. You drink but never have your fill. You put on clothes but never get warm. You earn wages to put into a bag pierced through.”Malachi 3:5“Then I will draw near to you for judgment. And I will be a swift witness against sorcerers and adulterers and perjurers, against oppressors of the widowed and fatherless, and against those who defraud laborers of their wages and deny justice to the foreigner but do not fear Me,” says the LORD of Hosts.Matthew 10:10Take no bag for the road, or second tunic, or sandals, or staff; for the worker is worthy of his provisions.Matthew 20:1“For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire workers for his vineyard.Matthew 20:2He agreed to pay them a denarius for the day and sent them into his vineyard.Matthew 20:3About the third hour he went out and saw others standing in the marketplace doing nothing.Matthew 20:4‘You also go into my vineyard,’ he said, ‘and I will pay you whatever is right.’Matthew 20:5So they went. He went out again about the sixth hour and the ninth hour and did the same thing.Matthew 20:6About the eleventh hour he went out and found still others standing around. ‘Why have you been standing here all day long doing nothing?’ he asked.Matthew 20:7‘Because no one has hired us,’ they answered. So he told them, ‘You also go into my vineyard.’Matthew 20:8When evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman, ‘Call the workers and pay them their wages, starting with the last ones hired and moving on to the first.’Matthew 20:9The workers who were hired about the eleventh hour came and each received a denarius.Matthew 20:10So when the original workers came, they assumed they would receive more. But each of them also received a denarius.Matthew 20:11On receiving their pay, they began to grumble against the landowner.Matthew 20:12‘These men who were hired last worked only one hour,’ they said, ‘and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden and the scorching heat of the day.’Matthew 20:13But he answered one of them, ‘Friend, I am not being unfair to you. Did you not agree with me on one denarius?Matthew 20:14Take your pay and go. I want to give this last man the same as I gave you.Matthew 20:15Do I not have the right to do as I please with what is mine?
