19 Al cabo de tres días quitará Faraón tu cabeza de sobre ti, y te hará colgar en la horca, y las aves comerán tu carne de sobre ti.

20 Y fué el tercero día el día del nacimiento de Faraón, é hizo banquete á todos sus sirvientes: y alzó la cabeza del principal de los coperos, y la cabeza del principal de los panaderos, entre sus servidores.

21 E hizo volver á su oficio al principal de los coperos; y dió él la copa en mano de Faraón.

22 Mas hizo ahorcar al principal de los panaderos, como le había declarado José.

23 Y el principal de los coperos no se acordó de José, sino que le olvidó.
