11 But it happened about this time, when Joseph went into
the house to do his work, and none of the men of the house was inside,
12 That she caught him by his garment, saying, “Lie with me.”
But he left his garment in her hand, and fled and ran outside.
13 And so it was, when she saw that the had left
his garment in her hand and fled outside,
14 That she called to the men of her house and spoke to
them, saying, “See, he has brought in to us a Hebrew to mock us. He came in to me to lie with me, and I cried
out with a loud voice.
15 “And it happened, when he heard that I lifted my voice
and cried out, that he left his garment with me, and fled and went outside.”
16 So she kept his garment with her until his master came
home.
17 Then she spoke to him with
words like these, saying, “The Hebrew servant whom you brought to us came in to
me to mock me;
18 “So it happened, as I lifted my voice and cried out, that
he left his garment with me and fled outside.”
19 So it was, when his master heard the words which his wife
spoke to him, saying, “Your servant did to me after this manner,” that his
anger was aroused.
20 Then Joseph’s master took him and put him into the
prison, a place where the king’s prisoners were confined. And he was there in the prison.
21 But the Lord was with Joseph and showed him mercy, and He
gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison.
22 And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph’s hand
all the prisoners who were in the prison; whatever they did there, it was his
doing.
23 The keeper of the prison did not look into anything that
was under Joseph’s authority, because the Lord was with him; and whatever he did,
the Lord made it prosper.
