18 Et comme j’ai élevé la voix et que j’ai crié, il a laissé son vêtement à côté de moi et s’est enfui dehors.
19 Après avoir entendu les paroles de sa femme, qui lui disait: Voilà ce que m’a fait ton esclave! Le maître de Joseph fut enflammé de colère.
20 Il prit Joseph, et le mit dans la prison, dans le lieu où les prisonniers du roi étaient enfermés: il fut là, en prison.
21 L’Éternel fut avec Joseph, et il étendit sur lui sa bonté. Il le mit en faveur aux yeux du chef de la prison.
22 Et le chef de la prison plaça sous sa surveillance tous les prisonniers qui étaient dans la prison; et rien ne s’y faisait que par lui.
