11. And he said,
12. And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falls to me. And he divided unto them his living.
13. And not many days later the younger son gathered everything together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.
14. And when he had spent everything, there arose a great famine in that land; and he began to be in want.
15. And he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country; and he sent him into his fields to feed swine.
16. And he would gladly have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat: and no man gave unto him.
17. And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father's have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!
18. I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before you,
19. And am no more worthy to be called your son: make me as one of your hired servants.
