Genesis 30:33

So shall my righteousness answer for me in time to come, when it shall come for my hire before thy face: every one that [is] not speckled and spotted among the goats, and brown among the sheep, that shall be counted stolen with me.

So shall my righteousness {H6666} answer {H6030} for me in time {H3117} to come {H4279}, when it shall come {H935} for my hire {H7939} before thy face {H6440}: every one {H3605} that is not speckled {H5348} and spotted {H2921} among the goats {H5795}, and brown {H2345} among the sheep {H3775}, that shall be counted stolen {H1589} with me.

And I will let my integrity stand as witness against me in the future: when you come to look over the animals constituting my wages, every goat that isn't speckled or spotted and every sheep that isn't brown will count as stolen by me."

So 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.”

So shall my righteousness answer for me hereafter, when thou shalt come concerning my hire that is before thee: every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and black among the sheep, that, if found with me, shall be counted stolen.
