Proverbs 10:22 KJV

The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.

Genesis 27:28-30 NLT

[28] "From the dew of heaven and the richness of the earth, may God always give you abundant harvests of grain and bountiful new wine. 

[29] May many nations become your servants, and may they bow down to you. May you be the master over your brothers, and may your mother's sons bow down to you. All who curse you will be cursed, and all who bless you will be blessed." 

[30] As soon as Isaac had finished blessing Jacob, and almost before Jacob had left his father, Esau returned from his hunt.

 

Genesis 30:25-30 NLT

[25] Soon after Rachel had given birth to Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, "Please release me so I can go home to my own country. 

[26] Let me take my wives and children, for I have earned them by serving you, and let me be on my way. You certainly know how hard I have worked for you." 

[27] "Please listen to me," Laban replied. "I have become wealthy, for the LORD has blessed me because of you. 

[28] Tell me how much I owe you. Whatever it is, I'll pay it." 

[29] Jacob replied, "You know how hard I've worked for you, and how your flocks and herds have grown under my care. 

[30] You had little indeed before I came, but your wealth has increased enormously. The LORD has blessed you through everything I've done. But now, what about me? When can I start providing for my own family?"

Deuteronomy 28:12 KJV

The LORD shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow.

Genesis 30:31-34 NLT

[31] "What wages do you want?" Laban asked again. Jacob replied, "Don't give me anything. Just do this one thing, and I'll continue to tend and watch over your flocks. 

[32] Let me inspect your flocks today and remove all the sheep and goats that are speckled or spotted, along with all the black sheep. Give these to me as my wages. [33] In the future, when you check on the animals you have given me as my wages, you'll see that I have been honest. If you find in my flock any goats without speckles or spots, or any sheep that are not black, you will know that I have stolen them from you." 

[34] "All right," Laban replied. "It will be as you say."

Genesis 30:35-36 NLT

[35] But that very day Laban went out and removed the male goats that were streaked and spotted, all the female goats that were speckled and spotted or had white patches, and all the black sheep. He placed them in the care of his own sons, [36] who took them a three-days' journey from where Jacob was. Meanwhile, Jacob stayed and cared for the rest of Laban's flock.

Genesis 30:37-43 NLT

[37] Then Jacob took some fresh branches from poplar, almond, and plane trees and peeled off strips of bark, making white streaks on them. 

[38] Then he placed these peeled branches in the watering troughs where the flocks came to drink, for that was where they mated. 

[39] And when they mated in front of the white-streaked branches, they gave birth to young that were streaked, speckled, and spotted. 

[40] Jacob separated those lambs from Laban's flock. And at mating time he turned the flock to face Laban's animals that were streaked or black. This is how he built his own flock instead of increasing Laban's. 

[41] Whenever the stronger females were ready to mate, Jacob would place the peeled branches in the watering troughs in front of them. Then they would mate in front of the branches. 

[42] But he didn't do this with the weaker ones, so the weaker lambs belonged to Laban, and the stronger ones were Jacob's. 

[43] As a result, Jacob became very wealthy, with large flocks of sheep and goats, female and male servants, and many camels and donkeys.
