Genesis 44:16-18
1599 Geneva Bible
16 Then said Judah, What shall we say unto my lord? what shall we speak? and how can we justify ourselves? [a]God hath found out the wickedness of thy servants: behold, we are servants to my lord, both we, and he, with whom the cup is found.
17 But he answered, God forbid, that I should do so, but the man, with whom the cup is found, he shall be my servant, and go ye in peace unto your father.
18 ¶ Then Judah drew near unto him, and said, Oh my lord, let thy servant now speak a word in my lord’s ears, and let not thy wrath be kindled against thy servant: for thou art even [b]as Pharaoh.
