Genesis 31:39

That which was torn of beasts I brought not unto thee; I bare the loss of it; of my hand didst thou require it, whether stolen by day, or stolen by night.

KJV

nec captum a bestia ostendi tibi, ego damnum omne reddebam : quidquid furto peribat, a me exigebas :

Vulgate

θηριάλωτον οὐκ ἀνενήνοχά σοι, ἐγὼ ἀπετίννυον ἀπ’ ἐμαυτοῦ, κλέμματα ἡμέρας καὶ κλέμματα τῆς νυκτός.

LXX

That which was torn of beasts I brought not unto thee; I bare the loss of it; of my hand didst thou require it, whether stolen by day or stolen by night.
