In Genesis 43:9, Judah pledges to personally bear the blame if Benjamin is harmed — echoing Jacob's principle of bearing loss himself rather than shifting it to the one who entrusted the care.

Exodus 22:10 addresses the exact scenario Jacob describes: a keeper entrusted with livestock who must answer for loss or injury — the Mosaic law codifying what Jacob voluntarily did.

In John 10:12, the hireling flees when the wolf comes, leaving sheep to perish — the opposite of Jacob, who bore every loss himself.

In John 10:13, the hireling 'careth not for the sheep' — the exact opposite of Jacob, who personally absorbed every loss for Laban's flock.

Exodus 22:12 codifies exactly what Jacob describes: if an animal is torn by a beast, the shepherd must produce the remains or make restitution — Jacob went beyond this by absorbing the loss.

In 1 Samuel 17:34, David recounts fighting lions and bears while guarding flocks — a shepherd who actively protected his sheep, echoing Jacob's claim of bearing losses.

In 1 Samuel 17:35, David rescued lambs from predators' mouths — a shepherd who risked himself to prevent the very losses Jacob says he bore.
