Genesis 39:19-23
American Standard Version
19 And it came to pass, when his master heard the words of his wife, which she spake unto him, saying, After this manner did thy servant to me; that his wrath was kindled. 20 And Joseph’s master took him, and put him into the prison, the place where the king’s prisoners were bound: and he was there in the prison. 21 But Jehovah was with Joseph, and showed kindness unto him, and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison. 22 And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph’s hand all the prisoners that were in the prison; and whatsoever they did there, he was the doer of it. 23 The keeper of the prison looked not to anything that was under his hand, because Jehovah was with him; and that which he did, Jehovah made it to prosper.

Joseph Imprisoned
19 Now when his master heard the words of his wife, which she spoke to him, saying, “[a]This is what your slave did to me,” (A)his anger burned. 20 So Joseph’s master took him and (B)put him into the jail, the place where the king’s prisoners were confined; and he was there in the jail. 21 But (C)the Lord was with Joseph and extended kindness to him, and (D)gave him favor in the sight of the chief jailer. 22 The chief jailer (E)committed to Joseph’s [b]charge all the prisoners who were in the jail; so that whatever was done there, he was [c]responsible for it. 23 (F)The chief jailer did not supervise anything under [d]Joseph’s charge because (G)the Lord was with him; and whatever he did, (H)the Lord made to prosper.
