19And it happened that when his master heard the words of his wife that she spoke to him, saying, “According to these words your servant did to me,” his anger burned.

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

21But Yahweh was with Joseph and extended covenant faithfulness to him, and he gave him favor in the eyes of the chief of the prison.

22And the chief of the prison put into Joseph’s hand all the prisoners who were in the prison, and whatever was done there, he was the one doing it.

23The chief of the prison paid attention to nothing that was in his hand, because Yahweh was with him; and whatever he did, Yahweh made prosper.
