Psalms 105:16-25

16He called down famine on the land and destroyed all their supplies of food;

17and he sent a man before them— Joseph, sold as a slave.

18They bruised his feet with shackles, his neck was put in irons,

19till what he foretold came to pass, till the word of the Lord proved him true.

20The king sent and released him, the ruler of peoples set him free.

21He made him master of his household, ruler over all he possessed,

22to instruct his princes as he pleased and teach his elders wisdom.

23Then Israel entered Egypt; Jacob resided as a foreigner in the land of Ham.

24The Lord made his people very fruitful; he made them too numerous for their foes,

25whose hearts he turned to hate his people, to conspire against his servants.
