Genesis 44:27-31
New International Version
27 “Your servant my father(A) said to us, ‘You know that my wife bore me two sons.(B) 28 One of them went away from me, and I said, “He has surely been torn to pieces.”(C) And I have not seen him since.(D) 29 If you take this one from me too and harm comes to him, you will bring my gray head down to the grave(E) in misery.’(F)
30 “So now, if the boy is not with us when I go back to your servant my father,(G) and if my father, whose life is closely bound up with the boy’s life,(H) 31 sees that the boy isn’t there, he will die.(I) Your servants(J) will bring the gray head of our father down to the grave(K) in sorrow.
