SEV Biblia, Chapter 31:40
De día me consumía el calor, y de noche la helada, y el sueño se huía de mis ojos.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Genesis 31:40
Verse 40. In the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night] The being exposed to the heat by day, and frost by night, is made part of the heaviest punishment of Promethus by AEschylus. staqeutos dÆ hliou foibh flogi, xroias ameuyeis.asmenw de soi Æh poikilemwn nux apokruyei faov.pacnhn qÆ ewan hliov skeda palin.AEschyl. Prom. Vinc., v. 22.
Opposed to the sun's most fervid beam, The hue of beauty changed; till parch'd by heat The night with spangled stole shall hide its light From thee rejoicing, but again the sun Chases the hoar frost from thy harass'd form.J. B. B. C.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 36-42 - If Jacob were willingly consumed with heat in the day, and frost by night, to become the son-in-law of Laban, what should we refuse to endure, to become the sons of God? Jacob speaks of God as the God of his father; he thought himself unworthy to be regarded, but was belove for his father's sake. He calls him the God of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac; for Abraham was dead, and gone to that world where perfect love casts out fear; but Isaac was yet alive, sanctifying the Lord in his heart, as his fear and his dread.
