16 When he (A)summoned a famine on the land
    and (B)broke all supply[a] of bread,
17 he had (C)sent a man ahead of them,
    Joseph, who was (D)sold as a slave.
18 His (E)feet were hurt with fetters;
    his neck was put in a collar of iron;
19 until (F)what he had said came to pass,
    the word of the Lord (G)tested him.
20 (H)The king sent and (I)released him;
    the ruler of the peoples set him free;
21 he (J)made him lord of his house
    and ruler of all his possessions,
22 to bind[b] his princes at his pleasure
    and to teach his elders wisdom.

23 Then (K)Israel came to Egypt;
    Jacob (L)sojourned in (M)the land of Ham.
24 And the Lord (N)made his people very fruitful
    and made them stronger than their foes.
