International Standard Version
21 But the Lord was with Joseph. He extended gracious love to him, causing the prison warden to be pleased with Joseph.[a] 22 So the prison warden entrusted into Joseph’s care all the prisoners who were confined in prison. Whatever they did, Joseph was in charge of the work detail.[b] 23 The prison warden did not have to worry about anything under Joseph’s care, because the Lord was with him. That’s why Joseph prospered in everything he did.
