Genesis 42:20-22

Lexham English Bible

²⁰ You must bring your youngest brother to me, and then your words will be confirmed and you will not die.” And they did so. ²¹ Then each said to his brother, “Surely we are guilty on account of our brother when we saw the anguish of his soul when he pleaded for mercy to us and we would not listen. Therefore this trouble has come to us.” ²² Then Reuben answered them, saying, “Did I not say to you, do not sin against the boy? But you did not listen, and now, behold, his blood has been sought.”
