17 and she told him the same story, saying, “The Hebrew servant, whom you have brought among us, came in to me to insult me;

18 but as soon as I raised my voice and cried out, he left his garment beside me, and fled outside.”

19 When his master heard the words that his wife spoke to him, saying, “This is the way your servant treated me,” he became enraged.

20 And Joseph’s master took him and put him into the prison, the place where the king’s prisoners were confined; he remained there in prison.

21 But the LORD was with Joseph and showed him steadfast love; he gave him favor in the sight of the chief jailer.

22 The chief jailer committed to Joseph’s care all the prisoners who were in the prison, and whatever was done there, he was the one who did it.

23 The chief jailer paid no heed to anything that was in Joseph’s care, because the LORD was with him; and whatever he did, the LORD made it prosper.
