Genesis 39:17-23 World Messianic Bible British Edition (WMBBE)

17. She spoke to him according to these words, saying, “The Hebrew servant, whom you have brought to us, came in to me to mock me,

18. and as I lifted up my voice and cried, he left his garment by me, and ran outside.”

19. When his master heard the words of his wife, which she spoke to him, saying, “This is what your servant did to me,” his wrath was kindled.

20. Joseph’s master took him, and put him into the prison, the place where the king’s prisoners were bound, and he was there in custody.

21. But the Lord was with Joseph, and showed kindness to him, and gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison.

22. The keeper of the prison committed to Joseph’s hand all the prisoners who were in the prison. Whatever they did there, he was responsible for it.

23. The keeper of the prison didn’t look after anything that was under his hand, because the Lord was with him; and that which he did, the Lord made it prosper.
