    12And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falls to me. And he divided to them his livelihood.

    13And not many days after, the younger son gathered everything together, and took his journey to a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.

    14And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want.
