## Genesis 39:21-22 in Context (Verses 18–23 KJV)
 
 [18 ](/kjv/genesis/39/18) And it came to pass, as I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled out.
 
 [19 ](/kjv/genesis/39/19) And it came to pass, when his master heard the words of his wife, which she spake unto him, saying, After this manner did thy servant to me; that his wrath was kindled.
 
 [20 ](/kjv/genesis/39/20) And Joseph’s master took him, and put him into the prison, a place where the king’s prisoners *were* bound: and he was there in the prison.
 
 [21 ](/kjv/genesis/39/21) ¶ But the LORD was with Joseph, and shewed him mercy, and gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison.*
 
 [22 ](/kjv/genesis/39/22) And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph’s hand all the prisoners that *were* in the prison; and whatsoever they did there, he was the doer *of it*.
 
 [23 ](/kjv/genesis/39/23) The keeper of the prison looked not to any thing *that was* under his hand; because the LORD was with him, and *that* which he did, the LORD made *it* to prosper.
