Genesis 39:13-23

New International Version

¹³ When she saw that he had left his cloak in her hand and had run out of the house, ¹⁴ she called her household servants.^(A) “Look,” she said to them, “this Hebrew^(B) has been brought to us to make sport of us!^(C) He came in here to sleep with me, but I screamed.^{(D) 15} When he heard me scream for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.”^(E)

¹⁶ She kept his cloak beside her until his master came home. ¹⁷ Then she told him this story:^(F) “That Hebrew^(G) slave^(H) you brought us came to me to make sport of me. ¹⁸ But as soon as I screamed for help, he left his cloak beside me and ran out of the house.”

¹⁹ When his master heard the story his wife told him, saying, “This is how your slave treated me,” he burned with anger.^{(I) 20} Joseph’s master took him and put him in prison,^(J) the place where the king’s prisoners were confined.

But while Joseph was there in the prison, ²¹ the Lord was with him;^(K) he showed him kindness^(L) and granted him favor in the eyes of the prison warden.^{(M) 22} So the warden put Joseph in charge of all those held in the prison, and he was made responsible for all that was done there.^{(N) 23} The warden paid no attention to anything under Joseph’s^(O) care, because the Lord was with Joseph and gave him success in whatever he did.^(P)
