Genesis 40:4-8

4And the captainH8269 of the guardH2876 chargedH6485 JosephH3130 with them, and he servedH8334 them: and they continued a seasonH3117 in wardH4929.

5And they dreamedH2492 a dreamH2472 both of themH8147, each manH376 his dreamH2472 in oneH259 nightH3915, each manH376 according to the interpretationH6623 of his dreamH2472, the butlerH8248 and the bakerH644 of the kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, which were boundH631 in the prisonH5470H1004. 6And JosephH3130 came inH935 unto them in the morningH1242, and lookedH7200 upon them, and, behold, they were sadH2196. 7And he askedH7592 Pharaoh’sH6547 officersH5631 that were with him in the wardH4929 of his lord’sH113 houseH1004, sayingH559, Wherefore lookH6440 ye so sadlyH7451 to dayH3117?1 8And they saidH559 unto him, We have dreamedH2492 a dreamH2472, and there is no interpreterH6622 of it. And JosephH3130 saidH559 unto them, Do not interpretationsH6623 belong to GodH430? tell meH5608 them, I pray you.
