16 When he summoned a famine on the land,

and broke every staff of bread,

17 he had sent a man ahead of them,

Joseph, who was sold as a slave.

18 His feet were hurt with fetters,

his neck was put in a collar of iron;

19 until what he had said came to pass

the word of the Lord tested him.

20 The king sent and released him,

the ruler of the peoples set him free;

21 he made him lord of his house,

and ruler of all his possessions,
