And he left his garment in her hande, and fledde, and got hym out. 13 And when she sawe that he had lefte his garment in her hande, and was fled out: 14 She called vnto the men of her house, and tolde them, saying: See, he hath brought in an Hebrue vnto vs, to do vs shame: for he came in to me to haue lyen with me, and I began to crie with a loude voyce: 15 And when he hearde that I lyft vp my voyce and cryed, he left his garment with me, & fled away, and got hym out. 16 And she layed vp his garment by her, vntyll her Lorde came home. 17 And she tolde him with these wordes, saying: This Hebrue seruaunt whiche thou hast brought vnto vs, came vnto me to do me shame. 18 But assoone as I lyft vp my voyce and cryed, he left his garment with me, and fledde out. 19 When his maister hearde the wordes of his wyfe whiche she tolde hym, saying, after this maner dyd thy seruaunt to me: he waxed wroth. 20 And Iosephes maister toke hym, and put hym in pryson, euen into the place where the kynges prysoners laye bounde: and there continued he in prison. 21 But the Lord was with Ioseph, and shewed hym mercie, and got hym fauour in the sight of the lord of the prison. 22 And the keper of the prison committed to Iosephes hande all the prisoners that were in the prison house, and what so euer was done there, that dyd he. 23 And the keper of the prison loked vnto nothyng that was vnder his hande, seyng that the Lord was with hym: For whatsoeuer he dyd, the Lorde made it to prosper.
