16 (A)The Lord sent famine to their country
    and took away all their food.
17 (B)But he sent a man ahead of them,
    Joseph, who had been sold as a slave.
18 (C)His feet were kept in chains,
    and an iron collar was around his neck,
19     until what he had predicted came true.
The word of the Lord proved him right.
20 (D)Then the king of Egypt had him released;
    the ruler of nations set him free.
21 (E)He put him in charge of his government
    and made him ruler over all the land,
22     with power over the king's officials
    and authority to instruct his advisers.
