Genesis 39:18-23 Common English Bible (CEB)

18. but when I raised my voice and screamed, he left his garment with me and ran outside."

19. When Joseph’s master heard the thing that his wife told him, "This is what your servant did to me," he was incensed.

20. Joseph’s master took him and threw him in jail, the place where the king’s prisoners were held. While he was in jail,

21. the Lord was with Joseph and remained loyal to him. He caused the jail’s commander to think highly of Joseph.

22. The jail’s commander put all of the prisoners in the jail under Joseph’s supervision, and he was the one who determined everything that happened there.

23. The jail’s commander paid no attention to anything under Joseph’s supervision, because the Lord was with him and made everything he did successful.
