Chapter 39 of Genesis

Genesis

01:039:001 And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer
of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of
the hands of the Ishmeelites, which had brought him down
thither.

01:039:002 And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and
he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.

01:039:003 And his master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the
LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand.

01:039:004 And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he served him: and he
made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put
into his hand.

01:039:005 And it came to pass from the time that he had made him
overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that the LORD
blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; and the
blessing of the LORD was upon all that he had in the house,
and in the field.

01:039:006 And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand; and he knew not
ought he had, save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was
a goodly person, and well favoured.

01:039:007 And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife
cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me.

01:039:008 But he refused, and said unto his master's wife, Behold, my
master wotteth not what is with me in the house, and he hath
committed all that he hath to my hand;

01:039:009 There is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he
kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his
wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against
God?

01:039:010 And it came to pass, as she spake to Joseph day by day, that
he hearkened not unto her, to lie by her, or to be with her.

01:039:011 And it came to pass about this time, that Joseph went into the
house to do his business; and there was none of the men of the
house there within.

01:039:012 And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he
left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out.

01:039:013 And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment
in her hand, and was fled forth,

01:039:014 That she called unto the men of her house, and spake unto
them, saying, See, he hath brought in an Hebrew unto us to
mock us; he came in unto me to lie with me, and I cried with a
loud voice:

01:039:015 And it came to pass, when he heard that I lifted up my voice
and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled, and got
him out.

01:039:016 And she laid up his garment by her, until his lord came home.

01:039:017 And she spake unto him according to these words, saying, The
Hebrew servant, which thou hast brought unto us, came in unto
me to mock me:

01:039:018 And it came to pass, as I lifted up my voice and cried, that
he left his garment with me, and fled out.

01:039:019 And it came to pass, when his master heard the words of his
wife, which she spake unto him, saying, After this manner did
thy servant to me; that his wrath was kindled.

01:039:020 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.

01:039:021 But the LORD was with Joseph, and shewed him mercy, and gave
him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison.

01:039:022 And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph's hand all
the prisoners that were in the prison; and whatsoever they did
there, he was the doer of it.

01:039:023 The keeper of the prison looked not to any thing that was
under his hand; because the LORD was with him, and that which
he did, the LORD made it to prosper.
