Genesis 39:13-22 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

13. She saw that he had left his coat in her hand and had run out of the house.

14. So she called her servants. "Look," she said to them, "this Hebrew slave has been brought here to make fun of us! He came in here to force me to have sex with him. But I screamed for help.

15. He heard my scream. So he left his coat beside me and ran out of the house."

16. She kept Joseph's coat with her until Potiphar came home.

17. Then she told him her story. She said, "That Hebrew slave you brought us came to me to rape me.

18. But I screamed for help. So he left his coat beside me and ran out of the house."

19. Potiphar's wife told him, "That's how your slave treated me." When Joseph's master heard her story, he became very angry.

20. So he put Joseph in prison. It was the place where the king's prisoners were kept. While Joseph was there in the prison,

21. the Lord was with him. He was kind to him. So the man who was running the prison was pleased with Joseph.

22. He put Joseph in charge of all of the prisoners. He made him accountable for everything that was done there.
