Genesis 42:36-38
New American Standard Bible 1995
36 Their father Jacob said to them, “You have (A)bereaved me of my children: Joseph is no more, and Simeon is no more, and you would take Benjamin; all these things are against me.” 37 Then Reuben spoke to his father, saying, “You may put my two sons to death if I do not bring him back to you; put him in my [a]care, and I will return him to you.” 38 But [b]Jacob said, “My son shall not go down with you; for his (B)brother is dead, and he alone is left. (C)If harm should befall him on the journey [c]you are taking, then you will (D)bring my gray hair down to Sheol in sorrow.”
