Job 36:8-9

8 And if they are (A)bound in chains

Genesis 37:23-28
English Standard Version Anglicised
23 So when Joseph came to his brothers, they stripped him of his robe, (A)the robe of many colours that he wore. 24 And they took him and (B)threw him into a pit. The pit was empty; there was no water in it.
25 Then they sat down to eat. And looking up they saw a (C)caravan of (D)Ishmaelites coming from Gilead, with their camels bearing (E)gum, balm, and myrrh, on their way to carry it down to Egypt. 26 Then Judah said to his brothers, “What profit is it (F)if we kill our brother and conceal his blood? 27 Come, let us sell him to the Ishmaelites, and (G)let not our hand be upon him, for he is our brother, our own flesh.” And his brothers listened to him. 28 Then (H)Midianite traders passed by. And they drew Joseph up and lifted him out of the pit, and (I)sold him to the Ishmaelites for twenty shekels[a] of silver. They took Joseph to Egypt.

Genesis 37:23-28
New International Version
23 So when Joseph came to his brothers, they stripped him of his robe—the ornate robe(A) he was wearing— 24 and they took him and threw him into the cistern.(B) The cistern was empty; there was no water in it.
25 As they sat down to eat their meal, they looked up and saw a caravan of Ishmaelites(C) coming from Gilead.(D) Their camels were loaded with spices, balm(E) and myrrh,(F) and they were on their way to take them down to Egypt.(G)
26 Judah(H) said to his brothers, “What will we gain if we kill our brother and cover up his blood?(I) 27 Come, let’s sell him to the Ishmaelites and not lay our hands on him; after all, he is our brother,(J) our own flesh and blood.(K)” His brothers agreed.
28 So when the Midianite(L) merchants came by, his brothers pulled Joseph up out of the cistern(M) and sold(N) him for twenty shekels[a] of silver(O) to the Ishmaelites,(P) who took him to Egypt.(Q)
