Genesis 39:8-23

CAB(i) 8 But he would not; but said to his master's wife, If because of me my master knows nothing in his house, and has given into my hands all things that belong to him; 9 and in this house there is nothing above me, nor has anything been kept back from me, but you, because you are his wife — how then shall I do this wicked thing, and sin against God? 10 So it was, as she talked with Joseph day by day, that he did not heed her, to sleep with her, or to be with her. 11 But it came to pass on a certain day, that Joseph went into the house to do his business, and there was no one of the household inside. 12 And she caught hold of him by his clothes, and said, Lie with me. And having left his clothes in her hands, he fled, and ran outside. 13 And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his clothes in her hands and fled, and ran outside, 14 that she called those that were of her house, and spoke to them, saying, See, he has brought in to us a Hebrew servant to mock us — he came in to me, saying, Lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice. 15 And when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, having left his clothes with me, he fled, and went outside. 16 So she left his clothes by her, until his master came home. 17 And she spoke to him according to these words, saying, The Hebrew servant, whom you brought in to us, came in to me to mock me, and said to me, I will lie with you. 18 And when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, having left his clothes with me, he fled outside. 19 And it came to pass, when his master heard all the words of his wife, that she spoke to him, saying, Thus did your servant to me, that he was very angry. 20 And his master took Joseph, and cast him into the prison, into the place where the king's prisoners are kept, there in the prison. 21 And the Lord was with Joseph, and poured down mercy upon him; and He gave him favor in the sight of the chief keeper of the prison. 22 And the chief keeper of the prison gave the prison into the hand of Joseph, and all the prisoners, as many as were in the prison; and all things whatsoever they do there, he did them. 23 Because of him the chief keeper of the prison knew nothing, for all things were in the hands of Joseph, because the Lord was with him; and whatever things he did, the Lord made them to prosper in his hands.
