16  When he ^qsummoned a famine on the land

and ^rbroke all supply¹ of bread,

17  he had ^ssent a man ahead of them,

Joseph, who was ^tsold as a slave.

18  His ^ufeet were hurt with fetters;

his neck was put in a collar of iron;

19  until ^vwhat he had said came to pass,

the word of the Lord ^wtested him.

20  ^xThe king sent and ^yreleased him;

the ruler of the peoples set him free;

21  he ^zmade him lord of his house

and ruler of all his possessions,

22  to bind² his princes at his pleasure

and to teach his elders wisdom.
