Psalm 105:16-22

Living Bible

¹⁶ He called for a famine on the land of Canaan, cutting off its food supply. ¹⁷ Then he sent Joseph as a slave to Egypt to save his people from starvation. ¹⁸ There in prison they hurt his feet with fetters and placed his neck in an iron collar ¹⁹ until God’s time finally came—how God tested his patience! ²⁰ Then the king sent for him and set him free. ²¹ He was put in charge of all the king’s possessions. ²² At his pleasure he could imprison the king’s aides and teach the king’s advisors.
