17 and then this is what she told him: |That Hebrew slave whom you brought to us came in here to rape me.

18 But when I started to scream, he left his outer garment with me and ran outside.|

19 When Joseph's master heard his wife's claim to the effect that |This is how your servant treated me,| he flew into a rage,

20 arrested Joseph, and locked him up in the same prison where the king's prisoners were confined. So Joseph remained there in prison.

21 But the LORD was with Joseph. He extended gracious love to him, causing the prison warden to be pleased with Joseph.

22 So the prison warden entrusted into Joseph's care all the prisoners who were confined in prison. Whatever they did, Joseph was in charge of the work detail.

23 The prison warden did not have to worry about anything under Joseph's care, because the LORD was with him. That's why Joseph prospered in everything he did.
