7. Then after a time his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph, and she said, Lie with me.
8. But he refused and said to his master's wife, See here, with me in the house my master has concern about nothing; he has put all that he has in my care.
9. He is not greater in this house than I am; nor has he kept anything from me except you, for you are his wife. How then can I do this great evil and sin against God?
10. She spoke to Joseph day after day, but he did not listen to her, to lie with her or to be with her.
11. Then it happened about this time that Joseph went into the house to attend to his duties, and none of the men of the house were indoors.
12. And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me! But he left his garment in her hand and fled and got out [of the house].
13. And when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and had fled away,
14. She called to the men of her household and said to them, Behold, he [your master] has brought in a Hebrew to us to mock and insult us; he came in where I was to lie with me, and I screamed at the top of my voice.
15. And when he heard me screaming and crying, he left his garment with me and fled and got out of the house.
16. And she laid up his garment by her until his master came home.
17. Then she told him the same story, saying, The Hebrew servant whom you brought among us came to me to mock and insult me.
18. And when I screamed and cried, he left his garment with me and fled out [of the house].
19. And when [Joseph's] master heard the words of his wife, saying to him, This is the way your servant treated me, his wrath was kindled.
20. And Joseph's master took him and put him in the prison, a place where the state prisoners were confined; so he was there in the prison.
21. But the Lord was with Joseph, and showed him mercy and loving-kindness and gave him favor in the sight of the warden of the prison.
22. And the warden of the prison committed to Joseph's care all the prisoners who were in the prison; and whatsoever was done there, he was in charge of it.
