Genesis 39:15-23 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

15. And he heard my voice, he left the garment that I held, and got him out.

16. For a proof therefore of her fidelity, she kept the garment, and shewed it to her husband when he returned home:

17. And said: The Hebrew servant, whom thou best brought, came to me to abuse me.

18. And when he heard me cry, he left the garment which I held, and fled out.

19. His master hearing these things, and giving too much credit to his wife's words, was very angry.

20. And cast Joseph into the prison, where the king's prisoners were kept, and he was there shut up.

21. But the Lord was with Joseph and having mercy upon him gave him favour in the sight of the chief keeper of the prison:

22. Who delivered into his hand all the prisoners that were kept in custody: and whatsoever was done was under him.

23. Neither did he himself know any thing, having committed all things to him: for the Lord was with him, and made all that he did to prosper.
