This was my situation: in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep fled from my eyes.

ગુજરાતીઉત્પત્તિ ૩૧:૪૦
દિવસે તાપથી તથા રાત્રે હિમથી મારો ક્ષય થયો; અને મારી આંખની ઊંઘ જતી રહી; એવી મારી હાલત હતી.
हिन्दीउत्पत्ति ३१:४०
मेरी तो यह दशा थी कि दिन को तो घाम और रात को पाला मुझे खा गया; और नींद मेरी आँखों से भाग जाती थी।

In context

38“These twenty years I have been with you. Your ewes and your female goats have not cast their young, and I haven’t eaten the rams of your flocks.

39That which was torn of animals, I didn’t bring to you. I bore its loss. Of my hand you required it, whether stolen by day or stolen by night.

40This was my situation: in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep fled from my eyes.

41These twenty years I have been in your house. I served you fourteen years for your two daughters, and six years for your flock, and you have changed my wages ten times.

42Unless the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely now you would have sent me away empty. God has seen my affliction and the labor of my hands, and rebuked you last night.”
