## Psalms 105:17-20 in Context (Verses 14–23 KJV)
 
 [14 ](/kjv/psalms/105/14) He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes;
 
 [15 ](/kjv/psalms/105/15) *Saying*, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.
 
 [16 ](/kjv/psalms/105/16) Moreover he called for a famine upon the land: he brake the whole staff of bread.
 
 [17 ](/kjv/psalms/105/17) He sent a man before them, *even* Joseph, *who* was sold for a servant:
 
 [18 ](/kjv/psalms/105/18) Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron:*
 
 [19 ](/kjv/psalms/105/19) Until the time that his word came: the word of the LORD tried him.
 
 [20 ](/kjv/psalms/105/20) The king sent and loosed him; *even* the ruler of the people, and let him go free.
 
 [21 ](/kjv/psalms/105/21) He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance:*
 
 [22 ](/kjv/psalms/105/22) To bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his senators wisdom.
 
 [23 ](/kjv/psalms/105/23) Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
