²⁰ And Joseph’s master took him and put him into the prison, the place where the king’s prisoners were confined; he remained there in prison.^(A)

¹⁵ For in fact I was stolen out of the land of the Hebrews, and here also I have done nothing that they should have put me into the dungeon.”^(A)

¹⁹ For it is a commendable thing if, being aware of God, a person endures pain while suffering unjustly.

⁹ for which I suffer hardship, even to the point of being chained like a criminal. But the word of God is not chained.^(A)

²¹ So the men were bound, still wearing their tunics,^[a] their trousers,^[b] their hats, and their other garments, and they were thrown into the furnace of blazing fire. ²² Because the king’s command was urgent and the furnace was so overheated, the raging flames killed the men who lifted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.

⁹ Then the chief cupbearer said to Pharaoh, “I remember my faults today. ¹⁰ Once Pharaoh was angry with his servants and put me and the chief baker in custody in the house of the captain of the guard.^{(A) 11} We dreamed on the same night, he and I, each having a dream with its own meaning.^{(B) 12} A young Hebrew was there with us, a servant of the captain of the guard. When we told him, he interpreted our dreams to us, giving an interpretation to each according to his dream.^{(C) 13} As he interpreted to us, so it turned out; I was restored to my office, and the baker was hanged.”^(D)

¹⁴ Then Pharaoh sent for Joseph, and he was hurriedly brought out of the dungeon. When he had shaved himself and changed his clothes, he came in before Pharaoh.^(E)
