    8 But he refused, and said to his master's wife, "Behold, my master doesn't know what is with me in the house, and he has put all that he has into my hand.

    9 He isn't greater in this house than I, neither has he kept back anything from me but you, because you are his wife. How then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?"

    10 As she spoke to Joseph day by day, he didn't listen to her, to lie by her, or to be with her.

    12 She caught him by his garment, saying, "Lie with me!" He left his garment in her hand, and ran outside.

    13 When she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and had run outside,

    14 she called to the men of her house, and spoke to them, saying, "Behold, he has brought in a Hebrew to us to mock us. He came in to me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice.

    15 It happened, when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment by me, and ran outside."

    16 She laid up his garment by her, until his master came home.

    17 She spoke to him according to these words, saying, "The Hebrew servant, whom you have brought to us, came in to me to mock me,

    18 and it happened, as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment by me, and ran outside."
