Genesis 37:20-35
English Standard Version
20 Come now, (A)let us kill him and throw him into one of the pits.[a] Then we will say that a fierce animal has devoured him, and we will see what will become of his dreams.” 21 But when (B)Reuben heard it, he rescued him out of their hands, saying, “Let us not take his life.” 22 And Reuben said to them, “Shed no blood; throw him into this pit here in the wilderness, but do not lay a hand on him”—(C)that he might rescue him out of their hand to restore him to his father. 23 So when Joseph came to his brothers, they stripped him of his robe, (D)the robe of many colors that he wore. 24 And they took him and (E)threw him into a pit. The pit was empty; there was no water in it.
25 Then they sat down to eat. And looking up they saw a (F)caravan of (G)Ishmaelites coming from Gilead, with their camels bearing (H)gum, balm, and myrrh, on their way to carry it down to Egypt. 26 Then Judah said to his brothers, “What profit is it (I)if we kill our brother and conceal his blood? 27 Come, let us sell him to the Ishmaelites, and (J)let not our hand be upon him, for he is our brother, our own flesh.” And his brothers listened to him. 28 Then (K)Midianite traders passed by. And they drew Joseph up and lifted him out of the pit, and (L)sold him to the Ishmaelites for twenty shekels[b] of silver. They took Joseph to Egypt.
29 When Reuben returned to the pit and saw that Joseph was not in the pit, he (M)tore his clothes 30 and returned to his brothers and said, “The boy (N)is gone, and I, where shall I go?” 31 Then they took (O)Joseph's robe and slaughtered a goat and dipped the robe in the blood. 32 And they sent the robe of many colors and brought it to their father and said, “This we have found; please identify whether it is your son's robe or not.” 33 And he identified it and said, “It is my son's robe. (P)A fierce animal has devoured him. Joseph is without doubt torn to pieces.” 34 Then Jacob tore his garments and put sackcloth on his loins and mourned for his son many days. 35 All his sons and all his daughters (Q)rose up to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted and said, “No, (R)I shall go down to Sheol to my son, mourning.” Thus his father wept for him.

Patience in Suffering
7 Be patient, therefore, brothers,[a] until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient about it, until it receives (A)the early and the late rains. 8 You also, be patient. (B)Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord (C)is at hand. 9 Do not grumble against one another, brothers, (D)so that you may not be judged; behold, (E)the Judge is standing (F)at the door. 10 As an example of suffering and patience, brothers, take (G)the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. 11 Behold, we consider those blessed who remained steadfast. You have heard of (H)the steadfastness of Job, and you have seen (I)the purpose of the Lord, how (J)the Lord is compassionate and merciful.
