"You can't bring me down..."
Wow, Jacob sure put up with a lot from Laban. In Genesid 31, we learn that this exacting boss demanded payment for any of the flocks that were stolen or killed under Jacob's watch. Jacob just took the loss himself and depended on God's blessings no matter what would happen. And God did bless him. At times Laban said, "Your wages will only be the flocks that are born spotted," and then only the spotted flocks would mate and bear offspring. That's kinda funny.
But Jacob worked for Laban for 14 years just to marry his two daughters, and six more for the flocks. And Laban changed his wages 10 times. This guy was a beast to work for, yet Jacob kept his cool. He trusted that God was his real boss, and that his work for his earthly boss was truly done for his heavenly boss, almost like worship.
We also see a cool covenant between Jacob and Laban at the end of the chapter -- a covenant that protects even the yet-to-be born children of Jacob and his family from harm; and likewise Laban. Covenants are cool.
