15. He said, “Don’t hurt my chosen people.Don’t harm my prophets.”
16. God ordered a time of hunger in the land.And he destroyed all the food.
17. Then he sent a man ahead of them.It was Joseph, who was sold as a slave.
18. They put chains around his feetand an iron ring around his neck.
19. Then the time he had spoken of came.The Lord’s words proved that Joseph was right.
