Genesis 44:14-16
New American Standard Bible
14 When Judah and his brothers came to Joseph’s house, he was still there, and (A)they fell down to the ground before him. 15 Joseph said to them, “What is this thing that you have done? Do you not know that a man who is like me can indeed practice (B)divination?” 16 So Judah said, “What can we say to my lord? What words can we speak? And how can we justify ourselves? God has found out the guilt of your servants; behold, we are my lord’s (C)slaves, both we and the one in whose [a]possession the cup has been found.”
