And Joseph was a handsome person, and well-favored. 7 And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me. 8 But he refused, and said to his master's wife, Behold, my master does not concern himself with what is with me in the house, and he has committed all that he has to my care; 9 There is none greater in this house than I; neither has he kept back anything from me except you, because you are his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God? 10 And it came to pass, as she spoke to Joseph day by day, that he did not listen to her, to lie with her, or to be with her. 11 And it came to pass about this time, that Joseph went into the house to do his work; and none of the men of the house was there inside. 12 And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and ran outside. 13 And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and had fled, 14 That she called the men of her house, and spoke to them, saying, See, he has brought in a Hebrew to us to mock us; he came in to me to lie with me, and I cried out with a loud voice: 15 And it came to pass, when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried out, that he left his garment with me, and fled, and ran outside. 16 And she laid up his garment by her, until his master came home. 17 And 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 came to pass, as I lifted up my voice and cried out, that he left his garment with me, and fled outside. 19 And it came to pass, when his master heard the words of his wife, which she spoke to him, saying, After this manner did your servant to me; that his anger was kindled. 20 And Joseph's master took him and put him into the prison, a place where the king's prisoners were bound: and he was there in the prison. 21 But the LORD was with Joseph, and showed him mercy, and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison. 22 And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph's care all the prisoners that were in the prison; and whatever they did there, he was the doer of it. 23 The keeper of the prison did not concern himself with anything that was under Joseph's care; because the LORD was with him, and that which he did, the LORD made it prosper.
