Genesis 39:19-23

19When his master heard his wife say, “This is the way your slave treated me,” he became furious.

20Joseph’s master took him and threw him into the prison, the place where the king’s prisoners were confined. So he was there in the prison.

21But the Lord was with Joseph and showed him kindness. He granted him favor in the sight of the prison warden.

22The warden put all the prisoners under Joseph’s care. He was in charge of whatever they were doing.

23The warden did not concern himself with anything that was in Joseph’s care because the Lord was with him and whatever he was doing the Lord was making successful.
