New American Standard Bible
20 So Joseph’s master took him and (A)put him into the prison, the place where the king’s prisoners were confined; and he was there in the prison. 21 But (B)the Lord was with Joseph and extended kindness to him, and (C)gave him favor in the sight of the warden of the prison. 22 And the warden of the prison [a](D)put Joseph in charge of all the prisoners who were in the prison; so that whatever was done there, he was [b]responsible for it. 23 (E)The warden of the prison did not supervise anything [c]under Joseph’s authority, because (F)the Lord was with him; and, (G)the Lord made whatever he did prosper.

9 Then the chief cupbearer spoke to Pharaoh, saying, “I would make mention today of (E)my own [b]offenses. 10 Pharaoh was (F)furious with his servants, and (G)he put me in confinement in the house of the captain of the bodyguard, both me and the chief baker.

Genesis 41:28-40
New American Standard Bible
28 [a]It is as I have spoken to Pharaoh: (A)God has shown Pharaoh what He is about to do. 29 Behold, (B)seven years of great abundance are coming in all the land of Egypt; 30 and after them (C)seven years of famine will [b]come, and all the abundance will be forgotten in the land of Egypt, and the famine will [c]ravage the land. 31 So the abundance will be unknown in the land because of that subsequent famine; for it will be very severe. 32 Now as for the repeating of the dream to Pharaoh twice, it means that (D)the matter is confirmed by God, and God will quickly bring it about. 33 So now let Pharaoh look for a man (E)discerning and wise, and appoint him over the land of Egypt. 34 Let Pharaoh take action to appoint overseers [d]in charge of the land, and let him take a fifth of the produce of the land of Egypt as a tax in the seven years of abundance. 35 Then have them (F)collect all the food of these good years that are coming, and store up the grain for food in the cities under Pharaoh’s authority, and have them guard it. 36 Let the food be used as a reserve for the land for the seven years of famine which will occur in the land of Egypt, so that the land will not perish during the famine.”
37 Now the [e]proposal seemed good [f]to Pharaoh and [g]to all his servants.
Joseph Is Made a Ruler of Egypt
38 Then Pharaoh said to his servants, “Can we find a man like this, (G)in whom there is a divine spirit?” 39 So Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Since God has informed you of all this, there is no one as (H)discerning and wise as you are. 40 (I)You shall be [h]in charge of my house, and all my people shall [i]be obedient to you; only regarding the throne will I be greater than you.”

28 “It is just as I said to Pharaoh: God has shown Pharaoh what he is about to do.(A) 29 Seven years of great abundance(B) are coming throughout the land of Egypt, 30 but seven years of famine(C) will follow them. Then all the abundance in Egypt will be forgotten, and the famine will ravage the land.(D) 31 The abundance in the land will not be remembered, because the famine that follows it will be so severe. 32 The reason the dream was given to Pharaoh in two forms is that the matter has been firmly decided(E) by God, and God will do it soon.(F)
33 “And now let Pharaoh look for a discerning and wise man(G) and put him in charge of the land of Egypt.(H) 34 Let Pharaoh appoint commissioners(I) over the land to take a fifth(J) of the harvest of Egypt during the seven years of abundance.(K) 35 They should collect all the food of these good years that are coming and store up the grain under the authority of Pharaoh, to be kept in the cities for food.(L) 36 This food should be held in reserve for the country, to be used during the seven years of famine that will come upon Egypt,(M) so that the country may not be ruined by the famine.”
37 The plan seemed good to Pharaoh and to all his officials.(N) 38 So Pharaoh asked them, “Can we find anyone like this man, one in whom is the spirit of God[a]?”(O)
39 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Since God has made all this known to you,(P) there is no one so discerning and wise as you.(Q) 40 You shall be in charge of my palace,(R) and all my people are to submit to your orders.(S) Only with respect to the throne will I be greater than you.(T)”
