Genesis 40:14-23
New International Version
Genesis 40:14-23
New International Version
14 But when all goes well with you, remember me(A) and show me kindness;(B) mention me to Pharaoh(C) and get me out of this prison. 15 I was forcibly carried off from the land of the Hebrews,(D) and even here I have done nothing to deserve being put in a dungeon.”(E)
16 When the chief baker(F) saw that Joseph had given a favorable interpretation,(G) he said to Joseph, “I too had a dream: On my head were three baskets(H) of bread.[a] 17 In the top basket were all kinds of baked goods for Pharaoh, but the birds were eating them out of the basket on my head.”
18 “This is what it means,” Joseph said. “The three baskets are three days.(I) 19 Within three days(J) Pharaoh will lift off your head(K) and impale your body on a pole.(L) And the birds will eat away your flesh.”(M)
20 Now the third day(N) was Pharaoh’s birthday,(O) and he gave a feast for all his officials.(P) He lifted up the heads of the chief cupbearer and the chief baker(Q) in the presence of his officials: 21 He restored the chief cupbearer(R) to his position,(S) so that he once again put the cup into Pharaoh’s hand(T)— 22 but he impaled the chief baker,(U) just as Joseph had said to them in his interpretation.(V)
23 The chief cupbearer, however, did not remember Joseph; he forgot him.(W)

Genesis 40:14-23
King James Version
14 But think on me when it shall be well with thee, and shew kindness, I pray thee, unto me, and make mention of me unto Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house:
15 For indeed I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews: and here also have I done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon.
16 When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said unto Joseph, I also was in my dream, and, behold, I had three white baskets on my head:
17 And in the uppermost basket there was of all manner of bakemeats for Pharaoh; and the birds did eat them out of the basket upon my head.
18 And Joseph answered and said, This is the interpretation thereof: The three baskets are three days:
19 Yet within three days shall Pharaoh lift up thy head from off thee, and shall hang thee on a tree; and the birds shall eat thy flesh from off thee.
20 And it came to pass the third day, which was Pharaoh's birthday, that he made a feast unto all his servants: and he lifted up the head of the chief butler and of the chief baker among his servants.
21 And he restored the chief butler unto his butlership again; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand:
22 But he hanged the chief baker: as Joseph had interpreted to them.
23 Yet did not the chief butler remember Joseph, but forgat him.
