Genesis 39:21

Read in context

Genesis 39:19–23 · Berean Standard Bible

19 When his master heard the story his wife told him, saying, “This is what your slave did to me,” he burned with anger.

20 So Joseph’s master took him and had him thrown into the prison where the king’s prisoners were confined. While Joseph was there in the prison,

21 the LORD was with him and extended kindness to him, granting him favor in the eyes of the prison warden.

22 And the warden put all the prisoners under Joseph’s care, so that he was responsible for all that was done in the prison.

23 The warden did not concern himself with anything under Joseph’s care, because the LORD was with Joseph and gave him success in whatever he did.
