And he said unto him, My lord knoweth that the children are tender, and that the flocks and herds with me have their young: and if they overdrive them one day, all the flocks will die.

But Jacob said, My lord may see that the children are only small, and there are young ones in my flocks and herds: one day's over-driving will be the destruction of all the flock.

Και ειπε προς αυτον ο Ιακωβ, Ο κυριος μου εξευρει οτι τα παιδια ειναι τρυφερα, και εχω μετ' εμου εγκυμονουντα προβατα και βοας· και εαν βιασωσιν αυτα μιαν μονην ημεραν, απαν το ποιμνιον θελει αποθανει.

And he said unto him, My lord knoweth that the children are tender, and the flocks and herds with young are with me: and if men should overdrive them one day, all the flock will die.
